Paul's Revell RAF Camel *FINISHED*

[PaulBradley]

Cheers, guys.

Got the struts on this morning, the top wing on this arvo and just started the rigging, so this is where we're at right now:



I always forget what a pain rigging is...... I use Aeroclub stretchy thread as the least worst of the methods I've tried...

Hey what's this, I see some modelling going on here!
Looking smart.

I know, Jim - what the.....?!

Cheers!

Well, some unexpected bonus time at the bench yesterday see this one completed:





Some fiddly rigging around the tail, added the engine, cowling and wheels, then finished off the decalling. Not sure if it needs another varnish coat - looking at photos, the dope they used seemed to give a semi-gloss finish, which is how it looks at the moment. Reasonably happy with it - it isn't going to enter any contests, that's for sure!!

More pics in the Gallery!

Looks very good. No, they hadn't invented Dullcote until post-war, so you'll be just fine as is

[PaulBradley]

Cheers, John - semi-gloss she'll stay then!
