Thread: The White Camel

  1. #1

    Default The White Camel

    This one started out as AFC ace A H Cobby's "White Feather".

    Although only a training kite, I liked the idea of a white Camel enough to ignore that. Only once I started, I thought a slightly off white would provide a slightly more "period feel" (please don't press me on what I mean by that…it's not very scientific).
    Then I ended up painting less of it white than on the Cobby plane - Also for purely esthetic reasons. Add to this that I didn't have decals for the correct serial no and added a bogus one instead - And the end result is pretty far from what it started out as.

    Also, since I just wanted an easy paint job after all the stress of the Nieuport competition, I didn't put much effort on prepping the plane. No fixing imperfections, removing paint or anything - I only scratched off the original decals and added a pilot.

    But I'm still quite fond of how it turned out, so I'm posting it anyway - Hope you enjoy it!

    Oh, I like that one! Might have to do something similar my self. Ever sense seeing those half green half white F2Bs, I've wanted to do something along these lines.

    Honestly, it looks great! I wouldn't have guessed at the lack of prep work, if you handn't have mentioned it. Well done!

    Very nice work, Niclas.
    That should look great on the games mat.
    Keep us informed of its progress to Ace status.

    Well done mate. I have plans to do that very aircraft, and also Les Holdens red SE5a. The Camel you have done will look great on the table. I know what you mean by not doing it bright white

    Great job; the "off-white" is correct, IMO, for the period.
