Re: 1/72 Sopwith Camel
Just realized, after looking at that colour plate again, that I could have gone to the larger size?

That bat is cool! Nive to see a different color scheme then the usual RFC/RAF one.

My grandson would love this! He is into Batman right now .... big time. Looking quite nice. Isn't this a BI-plane?
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: 1/72 Sopwith Camel
Thanks all.
Borg - yes, the Academy kit comes with markings for a nice-looking machine with red & white stripes. But a quick google search shows that pretty much EVERYONE builds that kit. I just couldn't let myself do that!!
BsYamato - I seem to be on a bit of a biplane kick right now myself. (they take up less display space!!)
LyleW - yes, biplane, I just wanted to get that bat-decal on the bat-biplane BEFORE driving myself batty with the upper wing.

Thanks! Just found out that this evening's softball schedule has been rained out, so I may get some bench time.

Re: 1/72 Sopwith Camel
Awesome job! Thanks also for the memories; I built one of those way back when I was seven. Of course, it certainly looked far more crude than this does, this is a great masterpiece!
