Not quite, but it is primed and ready to go.

I seem to remember LO! being on the side of Fokker D.VII. I have a picture 'somewhere'!!! Looking forward to seeing the Dolphin progress.

Impressive rigging. I still haven't plucked up the courage to take it on.

No courage needed just get on with it!

Knowing you Msea, it would be a good attempt.
However it wouldn't be 'Ship-Shape' for you.........

Decals applied.
That 4 is out of line, some remedial work required!

I was given two Airfix 1:72 Sopwith Camels, the kits are not very nice and the parts seem very clunky.
Some do not look right.
I am going to build one straight out of the box and use the spares box to try to improve the other.
The one on the left is straight out of the box.
Airfix only supply one machine gun, but the painting guide shows two?

Will enjoy seeing the difference in the 2 when they are both finished.
