Hi all, I thought you might like to the progress of my 16th 1:32 scale build - The Sopwith F1 ‘Camel’. This model represents the Sopwith F1 ‘Camel’, Serial No.B6313 (later modified version), as flown by Major William G Barker, CO of No.139 Squadron, RAF, based at Villaverla, Italy during August 1918. Thus far I've completed the engine and cockpit, plus other modifications to model parts. The cockpit, as always, took the longest to complete due to the many modifications etc. Resin replacement Wicker Seat and cushion. Fabric replacement seat belts. Copper micro-tubes for fuel supply to engine, main and auxiliary fuel tanks, fuel contents indicator and fuel tank pressurization. Brass micro-tubes for a pipe 4-way union, pipe connectors and fuel filter. Lead wire for gun trigger cables and engine ‘blip’ switch. Rigging wires with turnbuckles for cockpit side frame, under shield and floor bracing. Flight control cables with turnbuckles for Ailerons, rudder, elevator and tail skid. Micro-tube for throttle control linkage. Mike

Thanks Lou. I hope Rob Wiggins will like it as well, as this build will be going to him once completed,

He Heh - there is no list Lou. Rob asked me some time ago after seeing some of my models, of which I've still got 50 in my stash to build (I should live that long),

Simply extraordinary modeling. Your are quite the craftsman that is definitely museum quality work. I like Lou cannot wait to see the finished model. I just finished a book about Barker that was his favorite he flew it a long time. Great work John

Thanks Shredder for your historical background. Being a Barker fan I was quite aware of it but others may not be. Hi Lou, you are more than welcome to visit me if you are ever up this way and I will let you drool over the model...but not too closely Being a former IPMS member and model builder (ATV )Primarily, I so much respect and admire Sandbaggers work that I just had to have this one for my WOFF desk. No expenses spared! If I ever get back to the UK, Mike's museum is top of my list, and I will be sure to share a pint or two on my tab. Best Regards

Mike, is that the "little red devil" I see on the vickers? WOW, such minute dhistorical details. Did you scratch build it and if not, who makes them?
I am really enjoying following along with the build.
Best Regards

That's true Lou.
Funny thing about acquisitions in one's life! The anticipation and emotional build up is more than half of the enjoyment in acquiring something one desires. The other half is in the appreciation of being able to enjoy it.
This Camel will sit on my WOFF desk and thoroughly appreciated by me every time I sit there. My only fear is that it may distract me from my WOFF DiD campaign flights and you well know the possible impact of that!
I plan to approach the Canadian War Museum who currently display Barker's medals and see if they would be interested in possessing this model upon my departure from my mortal coil (hopefully no time soon) .

Best Regards Hi Rob, The Red Devil is a photo-etch option in this particular kit, as the kit has the option of the earlier colour scheme for B6313. Handy as it saved me making it, Mike
