J-Bo Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Is there any interest in these models anymore? I recently grabbed one off Ebay along with a S E 5a. I only wanted the S E 5a as I already have a Camel, but I bid on another thinking I would not win. Anywho, I am thinking about starting a Camel and I am looking for any input from people who have attempted this model. Pictures would be excellent.

LSP_Kevin Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Welcome aboard, sir! I've just moved your question here to LSP Discussion, where it more appropriately belongs. Hopefully someone can provide you with some feedback shortly! Kev BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Jack Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Two important things: get blue prints, (easily available) and since the wood warps easily, make sure you polyurethane the model. I built the SE.5 and within months my tail section twisted until the stabilizer touched the ground. BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiggTim Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 There is interest on my part, just not enough money! I have 2 of the 1/16 scale kits from Model Airways, and I love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Bo Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Now that is how it is done. Every time I see someone that talented perform their magic, I want to put all of my stuff in the trash. Unbelievable. Bill_S, BiggTim and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ron Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I've been chipping away at a Hase 1/8th DR1 for over a year. They do take alot of space. I use a ceiling tile as a work space so I can move it into the store room when I want my work bench. This also allows you to pin wood wing parts down over the plans (covered in wax paper) to glue things square (R/C plane methods) BiggTim and Bill_S 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Bo Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 I just yesterday finished reading the MBIQ build of the DR1. Fantastic. It's kind of a bummer to learn that Hasegawa took some liberties when designing these. The Fokker more than the Camel. I also recently picked up the Fokker. An early 1984 edition with the wooden prop. What was nice about the kit was it came with a 1984 Hasegawa catalog and a 1984 edition of the Sharper Image catalog. Sharper Image offered the Fokker for $299.00 and the Camel for $359.00. Shipping was $9.50. They also offered a built version of either one at $3500.00 and $55.00 shipping. I am planning on scanning the Hasegawa catalog and posting it or dropping a link or something. Let me know if someone needs a copy as I have access to a large format color scanner/plotter/printer/copier in my office. Arch D is the largest width.
