Delayar Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hi! I recently started my first WNW kit, the Sopwith Camel with the Le Rhone Engine. It will the blue painted C1555 "Suds" . It will be mostly out of the box, but I will use the HGW seat belts. I started with the engine.

Delayar Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) At last, some updates. I continued with the cokpit. I decided againts the wood effect inside, because it will be barely visible. The instrument panel: With ammo and carburetor intake: Fuel tank with kit seat and HGW seatbelts: Machine guns: And the sidewalls: The cabane struts will receive wood grain decals.

Delayar Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hi again, The first attempts at rigging (done with EZ line): Wood grain decals are also applied. Now it was time to rig the control lines and assemble the cokpit: The gun barrels are only dry fitted. A pity most of this will be hard to be seen once all is assembled.

wpierson Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 This is great! I've always wanted to build a WnW model and this is why; the detail is wonderful and you are really doing it well! Delayar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delayar Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 It is my first WNW model. The detail and fit out of the box are great. Cheers, Markus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delayar Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 I forgot to post the progress during the last weeks, and I am goning slow anyhow. However, after the cockpit was completed, I painted the fuselage parts. I used Uschi's wood grain decals on the wooden side panels and the decking. The fuselage was assembled. Decals and decking added: Contrary to the instructions, I used the full windsceen. As the aircraft has no aldis sight, the split windscreen makes no sense. Unfortunately, during the removal of the windscreen part from the parts tree, some fissures happende, resulting in some inperfections on the clear part. After some more decaling and weathering, the engine went on: That is where it stands now. Next up is the rigging, which scares me a little bit. ;-) Cheers, Markus Trak-Tor, kkarlsen, Uncarina and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fvdm Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Nice! Take your time with the rigging and it probally turns out great. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delayar Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 OK, yesterday I took some time and started with the rigging. I used EZ-line for the control wires and Prym knitting elastic for the aerodynamic wire: I also attached the undercarriage. I am also quite satisfied how the bullet above the guns turned out: Cheers, Markus Whitey, Fvdm, D.B. Andrus and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
