DonH Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Nice work Wolf, Why the blue machine guns? Does this imply a certain paint scheme or are you trying a new metal finishing process that we will learn about later? Looking forward to next time.

williamj Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 You know Wolf...all we had to see were the pics in progress and we would know it was your handiwork. Glad to see you're able..and it is looking splendid. There really isn't a lot to the Camel kit so should be a short build right?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf Buddee Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 On Friday I got my order from Taurus Models which included the spark plugs I needed to complete the Br.1 engine for the Camel. The spark plugs are incredibly tiny and also incredibly detailed. Once each spark plug had been installed I added a very fine length of copper wire, taken from an old computer joy stick wiring loom, for the ignition leads. The fun part was painting the actual rocker arms as they have no raised lines to define their actual shape. To be honest, none of this detail will be seen once the engine is enclosed within it's cowl, but it's an engine and I could't leave it untouched. If you're displaying you camel under maintenance, with the cowling off, the spark plugs from Taurus Models are a must! The engine has a beautiful data placard supplied on the decal sheet but unfortunately it's too big to fit where the instructions show it to be placed. I moved it to where it did fit but the more I looked at it the more it looked out of place. I wound up removing it and replaced it with a similar decal that wasn't applicable to my model.

Joel_W Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Wolf, I'm speechless (which doesn't happen often). Your engine detailing & painting is just amazing. And those sparkplugs and wiring are beyond words. You're a master modeler of the highest order. Joel Wolf Buddee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
