Cheers Shaun 99% of the rigging done and I must say I enjoyed doing it even though this is my first real attempt at doing a fully rigged aircraft . Aeroclub thread makes the job easy peasy ...recommended 110% . ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Next job was to attach the upper wing. A few dry fits had shown that this would be a rather tricky part of the build due to the not so great fit of the struts due to alignment problems. Strangely enough when I did eventually glue the wing , using 5 min Epoxy resin and plenty of masking tape to hold it all together , it was a lot easier to do than when I dry fitted it !! Ill leave it overnight to fully harden . ![]() While this is drying Ive made up the Ground Crew ....quite nicely detailed and will add a sense of scale.....the aircraft is tiny compared to even a Spity .

Final bit of rigging done and now complete with included ground crew figure and homemade grass base :) Revell 1/28th Sopwith F.1 Camel . B6372 , 45 Sqn RFC , Istrana , Italy , 1918. As flown by Capt M.B.Frew MC(bar).DSO who gained at least 9 victories of his total of 23 in this airframe. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Conclusion Even though this kits origins date back to 1959 this is a kit that thoroughly deserves to be re-issued. If how good a kit is measured by how much of a smile it puts on your face then Im calling this kit very good. In places its obviously an old kit but with excellent new decals with a very colourful option on them ( must admit that the superb box art well and truly caught my attention) its well worth the RRP. The kit comes with thread for the rigging , which is shown in the instructions and is not to hard to do , and by doing so adds enormously to the finished build. I would recommend this kit to all except maybe the absolute beginner. Its an oldie but its a Golden Oldie. Well done Revell :thumb: Revell model kits are available from all good toy and model retailers. For details visit ; Revell Website Revell Facebook Andy |

That's a very nicely finished model and the simple base sets it off well.
