These arrived this morning. At the end of the year we will be having a WW1 themed display at my local model club and I want to add the other two Camel variants to my collection. I figured while I'm on a roll....
The 2 seat trainer has a scheme with a white fuselage, which will set it apart.
The Ship's camel has a very nifty fishnet scheme that I will be building:

My other two build are very nearly finished. I plan to start these two on the weekend. I've got it down to a bit of an art building these now, so I might be able to swing it. If I miss the deadline, no huge loss.
Here are the boxes. I won't bother with sprue shots for now.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Of that there is no doubt. Simple oob schemes and practice with the other two Rodents kits may mean I have a chance. Worth a shot...

Well, parts are getting a spray of tan for the linen and as the base for wood effect. It's a start....
There are also Sopwith Triple parts mixed in there.

Look, this might completely shock some of you, but I didn't manage to get these two finished. I know, hard to believe, right?!

Well, I hate to say 'I told you so' but.......
To be honest, Mrs iggie & I are really struggling at the moment due her father having been in Hospital for the last two weeks and then discharged yesterday; mother in law is finding things hard (as you'd expect) and their apartment has had to be de-cluttered radically; finding time between this and work commitments for anything is hard let alone for modelling. Real life stinks sometimes
