Sopwith Camel & Fokker Triplane.

[Hornet]

A couple of my planes. Sopwith Camel and Fokker Triplane. Enjoyable kits to build.

Touché, as you say enjoyable to build but it looks like you used something different to the nylon fishing line that is supplied. Also I notice you left off the transfers.
I thought I would change the colour scheme.

Both kits are very nice. I do like the metal look on the second camel as well.

Excellent…have them both on my shelf….hope mine can finish up looking as professional as yours…well done

Wow, they look great! I have a soft spot for those WWI aircraft as my father was an Air Force pilot and I grew up on bases all over the place. I have 3 each of the Hasegawa 1/8 Camel, Dr.1 and SE.5a. So far I have built one Camel but it had an accident and is now wingless. I call it my instructional air frame. I am in the process of building a second one, between that and a Vanguard HMS INDEFATIGABLE.

I am glad to see more of these aircraft builds show up on this site. I am building the Curtiss Jenny right now.

That is an impressive list of current builds! I have REVENGE in my stash as well, the Amati/Victory kit. I have also built the GOLDEN HIND from Mamoli. I really like those old galleons, and especially REVENGE. I will hopefully get to it one of these days. By a quirk of fate I have two of the OCCRE HMS VICTORY kits brand new, and so I hope to build one of them sometime. I have four VANGUARD models kits in the stash as well, in addition to my current INDEFATIGABLE project. Like many people I have really big plans, less time to accomplish it all...

I may have bit off more than I can chew. I am not sure if I will ever finish the list. I find another model that I would like to try and the list gets longer.

I was reluctant to post pictures of this project because it isn't a ship, but this was a great short term project. Scale, determined by the bulb, is almost exactly 1/64, and all is made from pine from an old shelf board from the garage.

That is really something! At first glance I thought it was the old Airfix kit. Beautiful scratch building and a very neat idea putting it in a bulb. I assume it was constructed inside the bulb itself, in which case it must have been very complicated, like a ship in a bottle. Impressive!

There are some older posts of the admins saying it was okay to post aircraft model pictures. I think Donnie has a build post on here as well.

Please keep the aircraft posts coming. I enjoy the model ship builds but also thoroughly enjoy the aircraft also. I am current building the Nantucket and the Sopwith Camel

You guys are funny, this section is full of aircraft build logs and I have one of my entire 1/72 scale collection that I am always adding to.
