Hi Mike

Very new to WW1 aircraft building and a recent (3 years) returner to modelling after a 30 odd year break.  Your website and build logs are extremely helpful, the standard of your work and attention to detail is amazing.

I'm busily putting together tools, paint and building my stash of WNW and other interesting WW1 aircraft is this kit WNW?

Thanks Kev.
Yes the kit is the Clerget engined Sopwith F1 Camel, which I'm modifying to represent Barkers later B6313 - it's going to a guy in Canada,

Hi all,
It's been a few weeks since I posted for this build - been on vacation.
Anyway the two figures are completed now - Barker himself and his mechanic (who will be working on the engine cowl).
I'm currently cutting and applying the 'Aviattic' linen effect decals to the models (light PC12 and CDL) - a time consuming job as they are not cookie cut, so accurate paper templates need to be cut first then used to trace the outline onto the decals sheet.

I like the superb interiors, highly realistic. And looking forward to see the complete exterior, promising the same high level of the cockpit.

Hi all,
The linen effect decals for the CDL are on now.
The photo is in strong light and doesn't really show the slight applied pre-shading very well.
These and the PC12 decals are basic and will be weathered etc later in the build,

Hi all,
The model is progressing now.
The 'Aviattic' linen effect decals have had the kit decals added, plus decal black/white stripes.
After sealing it's all have a 'Flory' Dark Dirt wash and 'Tamiya' weathering master highlights.
The final weathering will be 'AK Interactive' oil/kerosene enamel for engine staining.
Then it's on to pre-rigging and assembly,

Mike
