1/16 Scale Model Airways Sopwith Camel

I’ve just purchased this kit, after much thought as to whether or not I could ever complete it. I haven’t worked on a “stick” model, as we used to call them, since I was a kid in the 50’s and built a Comet B-26! In those days you had to cut out all the ribs, etc. from a sheet of balsa imprinted wth the outline of the piece. At least now the materials are pre- cut! Your pictures are an inspiritation. Wish me luck! I am going to try and follow some age old modeling advice: “Don’t rush. Take your time.” It may be a year before I’m finished.

I also have been so tempted to get that kit.LOL Nice job! Makes me want it even more.

WOW!!!

Excellent job.[][][][][*]

I’ve always wanted to try one of those.

usmapsgrad - hey, thanks for pulling this one back into the recent posts list, I haven’t seen it before - and welcome to the Forum!

Beautiful job on that model, the only thing missing is a skeleton pilot! [t$t]

I saw that the kit was on sale for $179.99 so I made the plunge and bought it. Hope mine comes out as well as yours did.

That is spectacular work! Simply beautiful.

Thanks everyone. I go away on business and this thread pops back up. Some day I’m goning to build the Curtis JN-4D Jenny.

Happy Holidays

I’m also seeing this for the first time and real glad for that. Kudos on your dedication, results and awards and most of all thanks for sharing.[Y]
