Very nice work. I am in the middle of building a Camel as well. What did you use to make the instruments?

Thanks for the compliments on the Plane. I did not like the paper printout for the instrument panel, so I cut out a piece of balsawood in the shape of the panel. I then painted it in a color that somewhat matched color of the instrument panels on actual Sopwith Camels I saw on the Internet. I then cut out the dials from the Paper Panel and glued them to the balsawood Panel. I went to a craft store where hardware for jewelry was sold and found small metal rings I used on the dials. I also found small magnetic necklace clasps that looked similar to the knobs found on a Sopwith Camel Panel. I also found black stretchable line which I used for the rigging, and hardware that looked like turnbuckles. It's amazing what you can find at a craft store that will help in building a model plane! Thanks again, Ken

Craft stores, imagine that....thanks for the heads up:-)

Yeah, the same craft stores you've used for years building your models.

I confess..I frequent craft stores. In my area unless you race cars or fly helicopters the LHS is non existent. On the positive side there are many women in the craft stores😄😄
