I’ve decided to take a break from the Schneider Cup racers and build a kit.. When I enlisted in BM back in July ‘15, my first WiP was this tiny Revell Camel. I did quite a lot of work on the kit, took a lot of photos (no lost in the PhotoBucket debacles) and received some very flattering replies. And then I broke the bottom wing in half. That totally destroyed my Camel mojo and I moved on to another build, a U-2;in fact
While working on the little camel I collected a stack of reference material and Revell’s much bigger, 1/28th, kit. And it will be the subject of this WiP.
The only work I did on the kit was to start a laminated veneer replacement prop. I had carved about half of it and then set it aside to work on another project. So the first thing to do on this build is to finish carving the prop and see if I could match it up with the half I’d already done. I was not sure I could as my eyesight has gone downhill quite a bit since 2015 but it looks okay and I managed it with carving up my fingers in the process. I’ve done a few other things on the kit and I’ll be posting photos, etc., over the weekend.
Thanks for dropping in. All hints, suggestions and criticisms welcome.
