Hello Bowerbird.
I have annotated a picture of what I mean. Hopefully that's OK for you. It may also be that the angle is not right. Nevertheless: great model ...

Hello friend, I understand what you mean. That is to say, the end of the lower wing and the front end of the tail wing do not seem parallel. I think there might be a small Angle difference and there is still room for adjustment. I will adjust it to look parallel.Hello Bowerbird.

If I may, can I step in and try to help communication? I believe what GIG1810 is saying is that it feels like the distance between the back of the cockpit and the front of the tail section seems short to him. He feels the fuselage in this area he has highlighted should be longer.

I assume you built the model according to the kit supplied plans, (never a guaruntee of perfection) but good enough. I'd say just, perhaps, take note for future reference. But it is not something most people will even notice. If it is, indeed, in error, it is not egregious. I, not being an expert in the field of WWI era aircraft, did not pick up on any obvious dis-proportion where it was pointed out. It certainly doesn't look disturbing enough to lose any sleep over.

So that's it. If that's the meaning, I think the distance between them is not short, because I made it according to a 1:1 drawing... Of course, there is also a possibility that there was a mistake in the original drawings of ModelExpo... In that case, the verification of this aircraft would not be rigorous enough... This model seems rather old as well... I'll look for real pictures of planes and make a comparison.
Hello GüntherHello Bowerbird,
Your model is really great.
That wasn't a criticism. I just noticed it. So it was just me.
That's why I asked. I'm already looking forward to your next pictures ...
Best regards

Bro, I'm very much looking forward to all kinds of opinions and I'm not the least bit offended. In the Chinese sailing model circle, there are also many chat groups. Every time a work is completed or a phase of the project is finished, it will be posted in the group for mutual evaluation. If there are any areas that are not done well and it is still possible to correct them, the damaged parts will be removed with a de-gumming agent and the project will be remade. This is quite common. However, it turns out that the correct approach should be to think more and act less. If you extend the production cycle of a boat, search for more materials, and gradually refine the details, the result will be perfect.
Best regards

The actual Sopwith Camel aircraft was designed with what is called a "short coupled fuselage" . This design feature is one of the reasons the Camel was such a deadly fighter in the air. She could basically turn in her own length to meet an opposing enemy aircraft. Also because of this design she had a few disadvantages such as terrible ground handling and a tendency to nose over on landing. Your model looks perfect to me.

So that's it! I did hear that this kind of aircraft is very prone to crashing and its maneuverability is not very good. So there is such a saying.
