discussion Papa695s Academy 1/32 Sopwith Camel

[papa 695]

This is my build for the GB, kindly supplied to me by Tony (Yak face) some time ago. I got the resin seat and the seat belts. Also thinking about getting the gun set for it.

Nice one Ian.

Anyone else think Academy kits are underrated? I know their range is variable, and some is OLD, but they often seem overlooked

 

[papa 695]

Making a start on this one, first of all you must fill in the many ejector pin marks, which is well known with this kit.

 

[Steve-the-Duck]

That is a LOT of awkward filling you've got there

 

[Andy T]

Indeed!

Rather you than me Ian.

 

[Mickc1440]

Good luck Ian, same model as I'm doing

 

[Tim Marlow]

Now that’s an iconic aircraft :thumb2: Good luck with it Ian.

 

[papa 695]

Done a little more work to this, I’ve added some frame work to the side walls. I will add some wiring later, also painted the seat and wooden parts. Still plenty to do before I can get the two halves put together.

Just about got the cockpit done, the seat belts were a pain to fit. Being made from paper when glueing they split apart.

Cockpit looks excellent Ian ,belts look good despite the hassle , cheers tony

 

[Andy T]

I seem to have missed a few episodes. That cockpit looks great, but is that really a wicker chair? :surprised:

 

[flyjoe180]

Great work Ian, love that wicker seat and the belts look convincing

Blimmin' Eck, that's looking excellent!! Good stuff Ian .

 

[Mickc1440]

Looks great Ian, the AM chair’s really make a difference don’t they? Just got mine in and the fuselage buttoned up

 

[Tworrs]

Brilliant work Ian, she is coming on a treat.

 

[colin m]

Great work Ian. Another build flying along. The wood effect has come out nice.

Yes they do Mick.

 

[Ian M]

Looking very nice in that cockpit.
