Belgian Sopwith Camel F1 1/32 scale

Hi friends,

the IPMS Belgium National Convention takes place on 1st and 2nd of october, 2005.

There are some nice kits to see; one of them (OT kit) was especially appealing for us: a first OT kit build by MARKO, a friend of our listee Fred Liefferinckx ("Osterkamp"): a Belgian Sopwith Camel F1 (Hobbycraft 1/32 scale).

Here are some shots of that kit, taken by "sure hand" Fred ;0)

For a first WWI 1/48 (Oooops... I mean 1/32 of course!) kit, I must say it's a killer!!!

Cheers,

Daniel

Hey Kitboy,

In wallonian: aamai = oufti

I'm really impressed by the result of a first WWI kit... MARKO is really on the good way!

Okay,

made appropriate changes

One question, the topic tittle states 1/32, but you and your first message with 1/48....? What is the scale? 1/32 I presume?

greetings, Nico

You're right Nico, I made an error : it's of course a 1/32 scale kit.

Original Camel

And proof that even the original Hobbycraft Camel can be built into a nice replica.
