    Improvised out of materials at hand. But the idea and design came from reading a very perceptive post on photographing minis.

    Very well done Michal,
    I would have done that one myself but my last Camels got used up on Kyte and his Wingmen.

    Congrats on your C Flight Chris. They really do look just the ticket.
    I look forward to seeing them in the flesh as it were at some later date.

    After reading Keith's review and the following comments,
    I made some quick touchups to my just delivered Elwood Camel.
    Shaved and repainted the prop, drilled out the wing cut outs. Painted the cylinders a blacked steel.
    Touched up the cut outs and the edges of the wings. Finally, I gave the silver guns a "Blued" color.
    Took about 1.5 hours. Now its ready for a mission.

    Lovely job as always Dave. I went looking for paper models of this very scheme a couple of weeks ago to no avail. So if I ever do decide to do one up I suppose I'll have to make my own decals.

    Another fresh Camel color scheme. This one belonged to a flight instructor in England, colors from Squadron's #110 "Sopwith Fighters" I couldn't pass it up!









    More of a target scheme than a fighter . . . but it is real and it is cool!

    Another very smart offering Clipper.
    Are you using your sticky tape again? It just looks so crisp in its definition.

    What a fantastic repaint Michal, I especially like the playing card on the wing is it reproduced on the other wing too? Hard to tell from this angle.

    and another view for see under the wing. The machine gun is a spare from a Nieuport found in the box of Lufbery's Nieuport when I bought it.

    No Rob, you learn it to me.

    I have mine since 2 or 3 years. I have bought it on EBay.

    After reading your post, I look at Ebay, and I find 2 complete sets with the 6 figures, but the price is awesome...

    But I have learn that I got the secret version...

    Nice repaint Roland. N6812 is one of the few remaining original Camels and it is displayed in the Imperial War Museum in London these days. It's on my repaint list to do one day. Its the 2F1 Camel that shot down Zeppelin L53 on 11th August 1918.

    Yes, I have read his history, and seen few pictures of the exhibition in the museum. But I think it had been repaint, because there is a difference with the illustration in Osprey Air Vanguard 3 : the blue colour of the wings. And after my checking,I see that I have to add a little repaint on the main boddy, which is full brown...

    Once stripped of their coat of paint, these miniatures are actually quite delicate, and a joy to paint.

    I'm sure your teammate will be delighted to fly it.

    Lovely job Eric, I have a couple of spare camels and now have some ideas of where to go.
