Alex Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Nice wood look there. I need to try and get something like that for the prop on my Bristol... Panzerwomble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpgsbody55 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Looks good so far. Hope you can persist with the rigging. Cheers, Michael Panzerwomble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Looking like a WNW kit now! If you ever wanna make a nice brown stain/varnish, Tamiya Clear orange mixed with the tiniest amount of Tamiya clear blue makes a nice brown... Hafta play with it though. Blue is way more potent and easily turns the orange into green. If you have tamiya clear red, you can even play with it a bit more. Keep em' coming! er... I mean keep up the good work.

Rick Griewski Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Keep it on the bench! It is not flight ready. mind your long rigging strands hanging off the model during the process. Evil snagging potential is high Panzerwomble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Well done Guy, it looks damned good to me so don't go binning it! Yes, the next stage of getting the struts on and then rigging will in all likelihood test your patience, but take it slowly and if necessary walk away then come back to it. coogrfan and Panzerwomble 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzerwomble Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 Is it done? ....yes .....did I enjoy it? ...not really ...would I ever do another Academy Camel ? .... nope . Although that's 2 biplanes for me in 2023 - The Glad was far more fun . I was miffed to find out way into the build that the eyelets I built wouldn't fit into the brass tube turnbuckles I cut. Took it, that this was because I hadn't drilled out the tubing after cutting , but finally measured again and the wire was more like 0.2mm . TBH at that stage although I could have waited for more materials I just wanted to finish this otherwise it ran the risk of never getting completed Arthur Browns Camel with a bunch of liberties taken . "Panzerwomble's Cack Camel V2" ...my first (unfinished) build log on this kit on LSP was in Feb 2012 Feel it's more a par with ....
