You know, I just built the 1/32nd Sop Camel, and (even with my fairly low experience in WW1 kits) I found it generally quite easy going, all the bits fit well, not really much to complane bout, cept mabye that the bottom wing dihedral is a tad too low so you need to put the model upside down and put a paint jar at either end of the lower wing till the glue sets, and of course those shiny decals which just won't conform to the ridges on the wing (sorted with appropriate amounts of MicroSol). But all in all, i'd say this is a great kit. I was really impressed with the cowl, cause I built the 1/48 revell one (naff) and the cowl seemed a bit too flat at the front, but the academy cowl stops in mid curve. The rigging was real easy too.
