The Camel is my second WW1 project, the 1/48 Scale Hi-TechRoland D.II pictured below was my first WW1 project, and the 1/48 Eduard Albatros D.III project i'm currently working on is the third.

Carpo - yeah I'm hearin ya on the AFC stuff, all I can say is I'm getting there!! Maybe after I've finished the Albie I might hook into an SE5 (maybe A3-32, the two seater).... so much plastic so little time...

Beautiful plane and matching build. Well done mate. Don't listern to Carpo. We need you to build what was shot down by the ones Carpo builds.

Hehehe, good one Ross, I reckon Carpo would like that one too given his builds are gonna "shoot" mine down at the Adelaide Comp in Oct

Oh and I realised I got the serial of the SE5A wrong too, it's A2-36... my apologies to all those AFC buffs out there...

Brian, to answer your question, the paint chipping was done with good ol' humbrol silver and a fine tipped brush, nothing complicated

Pardon me if I am wrong, but I don't think that A2-xx serial numbers appeared until 1921 and are a RAAF format.

Brad - I am almost afraid to enter my models this year after seeing your work!!

Maybe if I get myself onto the judging panel............
