| Prop and rigging look great. Very keen staging with the shadows falling. You certainly did this 40-50 year old kit justice. |

| Thank you. The pattern for the blue is correct. It was used by #60 Squadron in the summer of 1917 and red was also used. My reference is Wings Palette which is great but must be taken with at least a taste of salt. The markings appear to be right but there's a wide variance in colors. Most of the illustrations for this plane show it as either dark brown or green with some notable exceptions. CD Wheatley posted some pics of a paper model of this plane which is done in much lighter colors and that was my real inspiration. Whether one actually was painted like this is an unknown to me but I did not want to paint it dark. The fuselage top, bottom, and the landing gear are all shades of a mixture of raw umber and white. The wing struts and cabanes and the prop are painted with burnt umber. The only pure black is on the tires and the "A" and numbers on the fin. Guillows calls for the plane to be "deep green" with black landing gear struts. To me, that looks like some old man in shorts and tennies wearing black socks. |

The center is from the prop for the Sopwith Camel. I had hoped to use the whole prop but it's too long. |
