    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.

    Great entry, Mike @sandbagger
    Even in 1/48 your eye to detail is amazing.
