1:48th scale Sopwith Camel

Hi all
As I specifically build 1:32nd scale aircraft, I wanted to see how a smaller scale model would be to build.
So I've started on an 'Eduard' Sopwith F.1 Camel (Bentley) (kit 8485).
Suffice to say it's much smaller than I thought it would be.
So it presents it's own challenges, not least trying to get half decent photographs!!.
I've used the 'Barracuda Studios' resin seat.
I've also added bracing and control rigging as well as additional pipework etc.
I don't know why as obviously it's virtually impossible to see.

Hi Mike!

Your cockpit is very beautiful.
I am impressed by the seat.

It's very beautiful, as usual..

I can only trust you that it is indeed much more difficult at this scale. Honestly, I cannot tell the difference from the pictures. It is as impressive as anything you have shown so far...

Wanna try 1:72 next? Just to make me ashamed of myself.

Hi Jess
72nd scale - I don't think so  
That scale is two years less than my age

Très joli travail dans l'habitacle. Même si c'est du 1/48, la maquette est une très belle maquette semble t'il...

Très très bal intérieur, félicitations Mike beau travail !
