Devo Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) G'day All, I'm calling this one as of now done. It's my take on the aircraft "flung" off HMAS Sydney between July - October 1918. Built OOB and rigged with Ez-Line. It's my third WNW kit. I experienced a bit of trouble with the decals cracking but other than that, any other dramas were of my own making. Apologies for the picture quality....one day I'll learn to take better ones....and today isn't it! Devo P.S. Rigging that little bullet fairing in the 2nd last pic was.......interesting Edited December 17, 2017 by Devo typo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had 0 interest in 1/32 WW1 aircraft until I decided to try these kits, a decision I've not regretted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I purchased the WNW USAS Camel at the US Nats this year and have been a bit intimidated to start it. I’ve got an Eduard Camel to build first as sort of a “test run” and to practice some WWI modeling techniques. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used Humbrol 98 for the top and sides and Humbrol 121 for underneath. My plywood panels where an experiment......I used Humbrol 93 as a base and then used some no name brand burnt sienna colour applied to get the wood grain effect then applied Tamiya clear orange over it all and....that's what I ended up with. For the prop hub I used the same colour base coat as the plywood panels but used coloured pencils to draw the laminations on and then covered with the clear orange...job done. Easy for me too do using hairy sticks.......dunno about you airbrush fella's. I look forward to seeing a WNW kit built by you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AlienFrogModeller Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I'm envious of the woodwork and rigging. Great work! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
