If it's not closed up yet, now's the time to pull out the shoulder straps; they weren't used in Camels until after the war.

I was led to believe that Oliver Sutton developed his harness with the Camel in mind, and that the Harness was a significant factor in the success of the aircraft in 1918.

Hey everyone, I have been slammed at work. I haven't even had a chance to look at the model. Figures, just when I get on a roll, work comes along. The only good news, maybe I can make some $$$ to buy more models. Hopefully, sometime within the next couple of weeks I will post more photos.
