Sopwith Camel Eduard 1:48th

[Jean Pierre CULIS-FERY]

Hello,

First, excuse me for my mistake english, i am writing from France.

I want to build the Cpt Arthur Roy Brown’s plane. Brown who is a possible candidate to have involved in the Manfred Von Richtofen’s death.

Here are the photograph of the men and the plane (find on the net) :

« Rentrons dans le vif du sujet » !,

Here is the work i made on the two alf parts of fuselage:

I completed the structure behind the seats with squarred plastic profiles.

I used aluminium alclad painds for the metallics parts, the fabrics parts are paint in Gunze H85 and the wood parts in H37 Gunze.

For the wethering i used some black oil paint on the metallic parts. For the wooden parts i used differents shade of yellow and brown oil paints. I build some reinforcement cable with streched sprue. I painted them with gunmetal from aeromaster.

For the instrument panel after paintjob on the wooden part, i used the decals from the box, some rhodoid cut with a punch and die and instrument dials from Aeroclub.

The seat’s structure received the same painjob as the two parts of the fuselage. The seat from the box as been replace with a Barracuda studio one.L

That’s all folk for this day.

Best regard’s from France.
