Model Airways Sopwith Camel [COMPLETED BUILD]

[Peter Voogt]

Final Photos (not exactly happy with the outcome. Even using a black cloth background, I still could not get the lighting like I wanted. I still do not have a photo-shot box setup. I just did the best I could with what I had.

That an amazing plane. You really need a acrylic box to display it in!

Donnie, As an old airplane guy, very nice work The good news is Jimsky and the razor saw group won't be after you.

actually...I have not seen any model of an airplane divided in half... Maybe Donnie will reconsider his model presentation.

Just 14yrs after the Wright Brothers first flight! I can't imagine flying it. OSHA would never have approved it. Great Job Donnie!
Here's some history - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sopwith_Camel

Looks great Donnie! I like how it turned out.
I have to agree with you, the metal parts are not very well cast and they are not easily bonded to wood or themselves, and they bend or break easily. It was a challenging model for sure! I would have preferred resin parts that would have more realistic detail and could easily be painted to look metal.

Can you imagine having a gas tank to protect you from being shot in the back.
Love be your model. I see no mistakes or faults
Best regards
Ted
