Thank you Adi!
The kit was so basic that I was initially worried, but in the end, with a little help from some spare parts and decals it became something nice.

I just ordered more 1/72 scale aircraft for my collection:
Bristol Bulldog
Fokker E.IV (ww1)
Junkers D1 (ww1)
Vultee Vengeance Mk.II (ww2)
Back to painting the clock.
Next I will start my Sopwith Camel F1.3 Comic, which was a night fighter to defend against nighttime air raids. So the guns were on the wing to prevent muzzle flash from blinding the pilot, there were some running lights and the cockpit was moved backwards to help with reloading the guns. Those were the main differences verses the standard F1 Camel. The moving of the cockpit being the biggest difference that moved the CG and made it fly differently.

With the image on side of fuselage, I am wondering was this made to represent the units with American pilots of WWI?
Work started on the Sopwith Camel F1.3 Comic…
This is the color scheme I am going to use because I am building a Camel F1 in the standard color scheme. So I am using one unique to the ‘comic’…
The cockpit was assembled and painted (seat, control stick, instrument panel, etc.) and then the fuselage, lower wing, motor, cowling and empanage assembly were done.
So the preliminary painting is done on this, and next I need to add decals, clear coat and then other parts will start going on.
