What an amazing build, I build wooden warships from the age of sail, yet the rigging on them pales into insignificance when I saw the rigging diagrams for this 'plane. Well done to you, a lovely model, and you have built it beautifully.

My early aviation roots were grounded in WWI model aircraft and crop dusting biplanes (converted Stearman biplanes). It was 1959 when I began spending summers on my grandparents farm in North Louisiana. A crop dusting airstrip was just across the highway about 1 mile from the farmhouse. Every morning the crop dusters would roar right over our roof at about 80 feet AGL enroute to spray neighboring fields. Cotton was the crop of that decade and DDT was the weapon of choice against the dreaded boll weevil. After waving to nearly every pilot coming and going I would retreat to our huge front porch where my older uncle helped me assemble many Aurora and other fighter plane kits. Each airplane was built with beautiful paint jobs and rigging. When I returned home after summer my mother would hang my models from long threads run across my bedroom ceilings. The aircraft were hung with great care in flight poses chasing each other in dramatic dog fights. The Fokker Triplane diving on my favorite Nieuport 11 was heart wrenching! But the little Nieuport remained aloft for years, the Fokker pilot must not have been a good marksman. Same was true with the Sopwith Camel after the Albatross and the Spad after the Fokker. I also had a Gotha bomber up there and an English bomber that I do not recall it's manufacture. My friends would come often to lay on twin beds beneath the action making machine gun sound effects as we flew those airplanes countless times. This video constructing a marvelous example of a Sopwith Camel brings back many happy memories. Especially since all of my models disappeared into no man's land, that thing that occurs when an oldest son marries and leaves a mother's nest. This phenomenon is much more dangerous than an encounter with the Red Barron! The last I saw of my wonderful airplane models was back in 1972. At least I went on to build and fly many R/C airplanes until I got my private pilot's license in 1977. Then I had the privilege of waving out the open door of my Piper Cub to little boys and girls that might be inspired to fly themselves someday by my flying over and wagging my wings in a friendly gesture of friendship.

Thank you for your interesting memories. I have a Stearman kit, so I'd like to make a video someday. When I was a kid, I used to hang an aircraft model on the ceiling.

2/3 through my Hasegawa Camel build and loving it. My only criticism, there is a very real need to paint the kit for realism. The shiny brown "wood" detracts from the model and isn't realistic enough. There's A lot of paint work but well worth it for the finish it gives this great kit.

Thank you for your comment. It seems to be slightly bent.
@jdwht24556 ай бұрын
That's the way the actual airplanes were built for some unknown reason. Normal dihedral is usually positive (up) but then think of the F4 Phantom tail. Just an update as my original comment bothered me. That top wing is supposed to be straight/level with the bottom wing having 5 degrees of dihedral and an optical illusion. Of course a pilot or rigger could change that top wing somewhat for whatever reason, say handling of this difficult to fly airplane
