August 3Aug 3 Hi all,As the build of the Albatros D.III (OEFFAG) is finished, I thought I'd start on the next .Sopwith 2F.1 Ships Camel, serial N-6764, operating from HMS Lion from April to June 1918.Mike

Thursday at 09:12 PM4 days Author Hi all,The Bentley BR.1 engine is finished.The only modification was the addition of the twin ignition leads, not that you can see them when the engine is fitted.Next up is the preparation for the pre-rigging stage,Mike
Yesterday at 01:37 PM1 day Author Hi all,Although the kit supplied propellers are of good qualify, I chose to use a replacement.Proper Plane’ wood laminated (WP005) propeller.Tamiya clear orange was lightly airbrushed over the propeller to give a varnished effect.The blades were airbrushed with Tamiya Royal Light Grey (XF80).Final clear coat of semi-matte was airbrushed to seal and protect the paint and decals.Tamiya Weathering Master Set A (Mud) was lightly sponged across the blades to give a worn effect,Mike
