Clerget engine for the Eduard Camel, before and after painting. Replaced the pushrods with wire, plastic ones hid most of the cylinder from view.

They're trying to say it's a false flag, that he's actually a leftie trying to make them look bad

Weird little issue, the PE part Eduard included for this step is completely the wrong shape. Especially strange is that the image of the PE sheet in the instructions has it correct.

Replicated a couple modifications William Barker made to his Camel. 3D printed a jig to draw out where the cowling slots needed to be cut away. Luckily Eduard did provide a top wing with the wider opening, just had to add styrene and bend a wire to shape.

Eduard 1/48 scale Sopwith Camel model cockpit interior parts

Eduard Camel internals all painted and rigged, ready to put it all together and close up the fuselage.

Thanks! It's in 1/48 scale.

Resin 3D printed intake, Vickers cooling jacket, and wicker pilot's seat for an Eduard 1/48 scale Sopwith Camel.

Did some 3D modeling & printing for the Camel. I'm doing Barker's plane, which had funnel intakes that Eduard expects you to scratch-build. The kit seat and Vickers cooling jacket look alright, but printing gives a lot more detail.

Yeah, it's a very nice looking kit so far, well detailed and nothing seems overly fiddly.

Internal parts for Sopwith Camel model

Started on my first kit of the year, Eduard's Sopwith Camel. All the various internal bits are ready for paint. Added some wire for fuel piping, plus a seat cushion I 3D printed for a previous attempt at this kit.

Calling the Spitfire done. A nice, straightforward build. #HistScaleModels

A lot of these image gens have public databases of everything they create, including the prompt used.

Decals and matte varnish down, so I can pull the masking off. And now, on to the weathering. #histscalemodels

Re-masking is probably the better option, so that you maintain the hard edge of the camo pattern. Easier said than done though, it's not easy to match the previous edges perfectly.

Base paint down on the Spit. Decided on a light blue underside to represent a squadron-applied paintjob before Sky was standardized. #histscalemodels

I was a bit interested when I saw that a few days ago, but not $300 on a single kit interested.

Next up on the bench, the Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire. Cockpit went together without an issue as expected for a Tamiya kit.

Going to start posting model builds on here. Here's my most recently finished kit, MiniArt's 1/35 SU-76M.

FOM controls the replays, not sky. Sky essentially just adds commentary over the footage they're given.

Guy running for senate in Maine has a big Totenkopf tattoo on his chest, apparently with no idea it's a Nazi symbol.

Those were Dutch helicopters, I'm guessing that was a fairly last minute change.

You're missing the key part of this, Trump claimed on the 10th that they spoke "a day ago." Newsom was responding to that when he said there was no call. Fox then cuts the day ago part out while showing a call that happened on the 7th. Seems like a very intentional misrepresentation to me.

Kamala didn't flip a single county, last time that happened was over 90 years ago. Where are all these right wingers she courted that supposedly show up?

Safety on a 2 point conversion gives 1 point. Would take some wild circumstances, but it's technically possible.

Yeah, something about the high-vis orange makes him look real weird.

Schiff's latest ad boosts Republican Senate rival Steve Garvey. Rep. Katie Porter hates it Days before Californians will be mailed ballots, Rep. Adam B. Schiff's latest ad acts as if Rep. Katie Porter doesn't exist.

Happened in the CA Senate primary this year - Schiff boosted Garvey as his main competitor when dems were polling ahead of him. Newsom did the same thing years ago, too.
