Looking very nice Dave. So more biplanes to model.

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

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

My work area always looks like that!
Here is the SE5.a still needs a windscreen.

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?

Mile - sorry Kilometres.

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?

Are you taking to the snow ?

Snow I'm not.
