Very nice Bill. I love these sort of builds. Theres no prototype, so the imagination can go wild.
Following along.

Ah, the Camel! Its on my wishlist, too. I guess, there can be done lots of superdetailing; the cockpit looks more than fab. Do you have any pics of the building process??
Painting scheme: I personally think that some kind of camouflage will look cool, but not for an urban setting, more jungle like. But hey, thats my point of view! I am sure, there are tons of possible paintjobs!

Wes, cheers mate!
T, glad to have you along!!
Frank, you wont be disappointed!! sorry I didn't take any photos, just started glueing. I scratched both of the arms which hold the cockpit. they have hydraulic rams and instead of separate tubes they were moulded onto the arms, so they had to go. I had thought of camo finish, then again I thought of a few others!!!!!
Terry, thanks for that.... like I said to Frank you wont be sorry if you bought one of these.

This stuff must really drive the rivet counters nuts. Good stuff.

Should be okay, but it looks a bit very clean until now. That reminds me of something... Should make some gallery pictures of the Camel.  I like those red/yellow on the... yeah, what is that on the top actually?  |

the thing on top?  well it's.................got absolutely no idea!!!!!!! it's just a tank and I thought it would look cool with stripes on it. I may paint over it but it might just look right after I have painted it. I'm sitting here right now thinking about what colour would look best. white is the usual colour for sci-fi stuff but camo of some kind could look ok. I thought maybe aluminium overpainted in ? and then chipped back to the alu. a large I.D number, well faded appeals. skys the limit!!!! bill |

Hey Lucas so you'vebuilt the Camel too!!! I 'm not using the figure, I think it hides too much of the interior.
I have made the canopy hinge upward, couldn't see how the pilot could get out of there!!!
