I hope to get the green on tonight. The red nose and the cowling are painted, and my homemade Vickers guns can be fitted.

Re: Andrew's Camel Goes East
Well, owing to some hyperactivity at bedtime from #2 son, I'm postponing painting until tomorrow.
In the meantime here is an incredibly boring picture of sand primer on the undersurfaces.
Yawn!

Re: Andrew's Camel Goes East
The progress for today. The painting is completed on the fuselage and wings.
Biggles himself has been painted. I've even managed to do a bit of rigging on the interplane and cabane struts.
cheers

Re: Andrew's Camel Goes East
Darn, I was half-way through counting the grains of sand in the primer and you changed the image ....
And reminded me that I also need to find a Biggles ....

Re: Andrew's Camel Goes East
After a week with no modelling done 
I finally managed to get the decals on.
White bars from a Pegasus lettering sheet used. I hacked up one bar to make the triangles. They're not as equilateral as I would like, but maybe Biggles prefers isoceles triangles. I expect he was good at geometry in school.
On the previous decalling session I managed to put Biggles' name on the cowling. Discrete and British of course. Not the done thing to show off, old chap.
cheers
