Thanks for putting this on the calendar, jRatz :beer:

Can I avoid the temptation to buy another pile of Roden Bentley-engined Camels and pretend it's for this?.... :mrgreen:

Any more takers who haven't signed on previously?

I was planning on building the Italera 1/32 version but a month won't be enough so I'll do a 1/72 Roden possibly in German markings

I'd love to build a good ol' Camel possibly the airfix offering with white metal engine and other additions, but that could change :)

I'm really struggling to find an Eduard 1/48 Camel. Anyone got any ideas?

Kingkit or Kitkrazy?. Perhaps Models for Sale might be an option.

Tried them, thanks, Mark. And to think I binned one in fit of pique last year. Failing all else, I might have to use the Smer one, but it's the mammoth task (sorry, that wasn't meant to be an elephant joke) of rubbing down the decal placement marks that's really putting me off.

Something will turn up, I'm sure.

I hear that Rowen Broadbent at Pheon Decals is preparing a number of sets for the WNW Camel.

Is there a 1/28th scale Camel kit?

The reason I ask is because I got given a 1/28th Fokker Dr.1 kit the other day, and I fancy doing a couple of movie aircraft if at all possible.

I'm not going to bother Toby; not that I wouldn't like one but I'm blowed (other stronger words would fit better here....) if I'm going to pay Royal Mail another £27 to collect the £6 import duty.... :evil: :evil:

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
