hey Mark, thanks for putting up the link and the extra photos--I gotta say, I'm really impressed by the detail on the thing, and that it's really close to true 1:6, as I think a rl Camel is about 18 feet long with a wingspan of about 28 feet. and yes, I agree that 300 ain't bad at all for what it is. The Spad and the Fokker look pretty good too

a full body will not fit because there's a solid panel below the instrument panel. Mine was a display, so I got it fully assembled. It looks like it could be cut out to allow a full body to fit, I'll probably display mine with a torso only. Mark

No, it's not scratchbuilt, and now that it's reduced to $300, it's pretty reasonable. Here's a link if you missed it on the other post:

really nice--and I agree, tell us more about the project and let's see some more shots, like closeups of the guns and cockpit!

Here's a few shots of the Sopwith Camel.

I'd love to be able to take it outside, but it's in my basement, and this thing is pretty big to carry up the stairs.
