New build see trough Sopwith Camel. According to th box this model is “museum quality”
The fit is certainly impressive. But if it ends up museum quality will remain to be seen

Some steady progress, lacing the control cables to the control stick

Looks like it'll be a stunner. Are you painting the frames?

Nice. I'm just building the same kit at the mo. I've bonded everything together as far as I can go and now ready to paint and add wood effect before going any further.

It's a nice kit. I will be watching.

Are you keeping the original chromed parts as they are or are you going to strip them?

More progress, I plan to leave it bare so all the internal workings can be seen, although I do intend to fabricate my own display case as I don’t fancy dusting it!

You should probably tissue and dope a section of it, as that was an important part of the construction technique too; difficult to get right though.

[TR4man]

Have you finished it then?

[steve y]

Here it is finished in the display case I made

[Eric Mc]

But you've left all the fabric off!!!!

Only kidding - looks good.
