Yes, here is the very old SMER model.
Notice the tidy modelling area!

These are 1:48, the SE5, Airco DH5 and the Bristol Scout.

That looks a lot like my work desk at the moment as we've been swapping bedrooms around (Tracy's idea not mine!!!).

I bought this 1:48 Monogram Camel on EBay and it had a lot of damage and broken parts.
The plastic is quite brittle.
The fuselage was broken and had a piece missing.
I filled this with two part epoxy filler and sculpted it to shape.

The top wing was in two, I simply glued this back together.

The se5.a looks very nice. You must have used a few yards of the rigging material now in all your models?

Progress on the Camel, some refining and sculpting still needed.
The photos show the complete side and the remodelled side.

But what can that be in the background?
