My next project is an Academy Sopwith Camel F.1 partially inspired by @bigbadbadge and his recently completed Goblin. I also wanted to expand my knowledge of WW1 aviation and its aircraft and as is my wont, I'll do that through a project for the main site.

I have built only one biplane before this one, a PT-17 which I enjoyed; I did the rigging with stretched sprue for that one but I'm going to try Chris' method for the Camel.

The only downside was I didn't have the correct decals for the Turkish Block 50+ but with the customer's agreement, we finished it in the old F-16D standard colours and I reckon it works!

First go at a Bi-plane and enjoyed it! Built it straight from the box apart from adding the rigging which is stretched sprue. Paint Revell enamel silver, wash acrylic paint brown/black. Brian.
