Rikywarbirds Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) Hello there, My first publication goes for the recently finished Sophwith Camel, in 1/72th scale from Revell Models. I had added some Ammo Rigging (Uschi) for upgrade the detail... Thanks for watching! Ricardo Edited March 13, 2018 by Rikywarbirds 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzby061 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 1/72 scale! You’re kidding me! Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 You've worked wonders with that old kit. I assume the box contains the venerable mouldings from 1963, so 55 years old! Excellent finish and rigging and the livery is certainly colourful and interesting. Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Ford Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Made this last year but no rigging for me. Yours looks fantastic, you have even done the bit of rigging shaped in an X, front and centre, only thing I can say about that is blimey. That must have taken some patience. Congratulations on such a brilliant build, Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Masters Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Nicely done! Excellent markings, nifty rigging. Well built Camel indeed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark4700 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 In 1/48 scale it would be an excellent build. But in 1/72, incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallBlondJohn Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Superb - having tried to build this little bugger I know what a state the moulding is now in and just what an achievement this is. TBH it beat me, I binned the fuselage and used an Academy one with the Revell wings. So will your next WW1 build be a similar challenge? There are easier things out there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have in my stash 5 more aircraft in 1/72th scale and I think I will not buy more models in this specific scale because of the tiny size: my eyes suffer too much! So 1/48 an 1/32 will be fine to me. (I´m getting old) I have, in 48th scale, one Eduard Albatros D.Va ProfiPack that I spect it will be amazing...

Head in the clouds. Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Fabulous and in 1/72...wow. What is the story of this particular plane as the markings are wonderful and I have never seen them before? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
