Just a note. . . Most British propellers are shellaced (opaque) or stained (translucent) a solid red brown colour. The laminations on the propeller needs to overlap the leding edge not the trailing edge of the blade.

Bonjour Marc!

Bienvenue sur Aeroscale!

That's an impressive kit I must say! Are there metal rods in the struts to prevent the wings from sagging? They must be pretty heavy...

Jean-Luc I didnt post it here but Marc Actually Molded this Kit in accordance with the actual aircrafts Construction. The Top Wing is Made from Three Panels. A left and Right TOP wing with a Center Section Over the fuselage Cabane Struts.



I think the Scale is so Large it is Very Easy to modify or Supe up any details you want and very easy as well to renforce if necessary/desired. I think there is so much here to work with it will really build out to an impressive Display especially with any of more than a Dozen AM Decal Profiles SPADA has produced. especilly their latest 'Foriegn Camels" Set.

Personally ONE of my Favorite Features of this kit is the Realistic "Wieghted" Bent Position of the Wheel Axle true to life of a Real Camel "At Rest" as can be easily seen in Period Reference photos.

Yours Mike

Hi All

The landing gear are made with metal (inside of the resine)
The same process is made for the cabane strut.

All of each intrument panel, seat, etc...are inside of the cockpit.

In this kit you can see the cockpit after building. You have just to remove the right or left panel.

The model seen above is built near 5 month ago and the resin don't move.

Thank's for all and thank you for yours compliments

Marc
