I mentioned in the model airplanes thread my latest project. I am building a Sopwith Camel skeletal kit. You get to see everything that is under the skin right down to fuel lines, control cables and all the bracing wires. It is very, very slow going as any mistakes will show up like racing dogs testicles ;D The engine is complete and I have now started on the fuselage. Here are some of the progress shots. The first is just an example of the condition the metal parts are in out of the box and what is needed to get them to an acceptable state.

The old, Gnome, Rotary engine!... ;)...!

A bit like my Leslie Speakers, a mass of whirling bits and pieces, making a lot of noise (music!)... ;D...!

Looking good, Matt... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]..!

That's what I call "enthusiasm"!... :-*...!

Paul...with lost of Rudder application!... ;)...!

P.S...."Udder application?".... :-*... ;D...!
