Sopwith Camel F.1 – Finals

by Rob Pollock on September 6, 2017 · in Aviation · 24 ≡

The snub-nosed, pugnacious look of this aircraft is instantly recognisable as a Sopwith Camel. I've previously posted Headline articles relating to significant sections of this project, a 1/16 model from Model Airways, because of the [...]

Sopwith Camel F.1 – Upside Down and Back to Front: Undercarriage and Lower Plane

by Rob Pollock on September 2, 2017 · in Aviation · 3 ≡

This is the final instalment of the 1:16 Sopwith Camel F1 build sequence. The remaining work is with the main and cabane struts, upper plane and rigging, so the next time I post (all being well) it will be to show the completed project. If [...]

I hadn't thought I'd be posting any updates so soon, but the airscrew came together rather quickly so I decided to add a few images. The details in the book/plans aren't a 1:1 version so I had to find old Air Ministry specifications for [...]

Sopwith Camel F.1

by Rob Pollock on July 3, 2017 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

A new project, and unusually for me these days - an aircraft, in this case a 1:16 Sopwith Camel from Model Airways. The model is wood and cast metal, with other sections of brass as well. As can be seen from the large plans it's a [...]
