Roden Ship's Camel and 2-seater (insanity)

Says it all - one of the best known aircraft of the Great War, not to mention the favored mount of Snoopy! Any kit, any scale, any markings.

Roden Ship's Camel and 2-seater (insanity)

Post by VickersVandal »

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.

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....... :ha:

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 :sad:
