SOPWITH CAMEL F1 – HASEGAWA 1:8 (PART 15) Final Assembly
I had hoped to be able to write this post a bit earlier, but I’ve been waiting in vain for some good weather to take a series of photographs of the model in a decent setting out doors where there is the space to do so. However, it’s either been too dull, windy or just plain raining recently. I will get some better pictures as soon as I can, but in the meantime a few gash ones taken quickly will have to suffice.

SOPWITH CAMEL F1 – HASEGAWA 1:8 (PART 11) Fuselage
Having successfully dodged the main event in this model I’d reached the stage where I had to get going with the fuselage. I don’t know why I’d been putting it off, but I had. Continue reading SOPWITH CAMEL F1 – HASEGAWA 1:8 (PART 11) Fuselage
SOPWITH CAMEL F1 – HASEGAWA 1:8 (PART 10) FIN & RUDDER
The fin and rudder were entirely scratch built as it wasn’t worth trying to convert the kit parts. Continue reading SOPWITH CAMEL F1 – HASEGAWA 1:8 (PART 10) FIN & RUDDER
SOPWITH CAMEL F1 – HASEGAWA 1:8 (PART 6): Port Upper Mainplane
Now we are starting to get into the main parts of the build: The port upper main plane. This is another part of the build which is being done out of sequence. It’s also the last part that has already been commenced by the chap who originally bought the model. Continue reading SOPWITH CAMEL F1 – HASEGAWA 1:8 (PART 6): Port Upper Mainplane
SOPWITH CAMEL F1 – HASEGAWA 1:8 (PART 5): Fuel Tanks
When I received the Sopwith model the main fuel tank was one of the components the previous chap had already assembled and painted. Unfortunately the brush painted finish wasn’t the best, so I decided to remove it and redo the whole thing. Continue reading SOPWITH CAMEL F1 – HASEGAWA 1:8 (PART 5): Fuel Tanks
