1/32 HC Camel "Clerget Aces"

[javlin]

I have started the next build while I wait to complete the prop for the NI-28 and I was so close tonight but moved to fast,live and learn.So as you can see I have painted all the wood pieces Testors wood and hit them with a coat of Future and leaving to dry till tomorrow night.The propeller for the Camel I roughed up alittle with a 240grit stick to simulate a grain maybe saw that here
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYTmx9WncMM might work in this instance.But my intentions is to simulate all pieces with a grain I hope?I also am going to be tring out this technique for the buckles here Turnbuckles and Eyelets Cheers

I will direct you to Vic's Glouster builds in the last G.B., if you want a good directory on how to do the rigging.

I love the Camel, looking forward to seeing this one.

Bring it on Kevin!

Good one Kevin. What's the kit like?

 

[javlin]

Terry the kit is pretty decent esp since I am pretty sure I paid under $20 for it no flash and crisp lines.I will be using some of this guys efforts as a guide;good overview also Academy Sopwith Camel F.1

Looking forward to this one Kevin and if you get stuck or need some hints or help on the rigging, just holler, PM or post.

Thanks for the info Kevin. Looks like it can be made into a very nice model. Might try one some day - last time I built a 'Camel', it was the Revell 1/28th scale version, probably 50 years ago now! Jeez, I am getting old !!!

Yep, built that one myself, and the Fokker!
Still have the figure of the "Red Barron", wish I had the "Eddie Rickenbacher"
