- In this video we will look at the new rigging material I got from Japan and then take a look at a new kit sent very generously from Charlie in Australia.

Exceptional kit, outstanding that Charlie sent it to you Nigel. For all you do for modelers Nigel, you deserve it. Well done Charlie.
He is a very generous chap!!!
I just finished watching this. You're correct, the rubber string for attaching the wheels and tail drag is to simulate the bungee cords used to act as suspension for the wheels and tail drag.
Great review nige yes I put the extra packaging as I felt it needed it as I didn’t want the sprues to shift around in the box .
Enjoy mate
Nigel
that would look great half and half, one side open the other covered
Awesome video! Nigel love ww1 Wednesday! Keep up the great work 👍🏻🍻
Looks to be a great build! Make sure to label your control cables so they don't get mixed up.
very exited for this build mate , this has been in my stash for a while . this will be great motivation for me. thanks again for all your work.
All that rigging looks like it will be a serious challenge for you. Look forward to watching!
An exciting and complicated project! Reminds me of an interesting character I knew, flow in the First World War, a RFC pilot. Flow commercial aircraft between wars. He was a base commander during the second unpleasantness. Wing Commander Stocken. Lived down your way in a little village Redmarley. His wife use to cut gigsaw puzzles on a fretsaw rebuilt out of pieces of Spitfires and Hurricanes. Still have two of her puzzles to this day.
The plastic bubbles are what BNA do. I get a fair few kits from them. Great service. Lovely people 😊😊
Great idea about widening out the subject matter on World War One Wednesday's.
Someone may have mentioned this already but when you said you thought that this kit was older - in the 70's (I think) Hasegawa produced a kit of the Sopwith Camel in a larger scale in precut wood. they also did an SE5a. I've only seen photos but they look like they were absolutely incredible kits. This kit also looks beautiful.
Yeah, I have since learned they did the Camel in 1/8th scale.
Hi Nigel, Wow, that looks like a great kit! I'll be looking forward to the build. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. Jeff
It's critical to get the cable runs correctly tensioned as the aero surfaces can be operated by the control column in the cockpit! The original issue must have been around 40 years ago when it was part of a trio in 1/8 scale including the Fokker Dr1 and the Spad S.7, eventually the S.E5A. Far better to work on at twice the size of this kit.
OK, so they CAN be operated via the control column? WOW!!
Looking forward to seeing you build this.
I haven't built a Camel in forever. I cut my teeth building the large scale Guillows flying models. This kit looks like a fun challenge.
The rubber thread is to simulate the rubber bungee cords those early plans used as suspension springs? Using the rubber thread would give the model the realistic moving suspension although it might just be for appearance.
Beautiful kit. Looking forward to seeing you build this and a wonderful gift.
I assume that the "tension cables one by one" instruction means that although the cable should be one piece, passing through holes, you should *_tighten and glue_* each section individually.
Maybe?? I worry that gluing each intersection though may cause twist in the wing? we shall see?
Looking forward to this one
I use beading thread. It will last forever on your model. It's basicly nylon thread.
Thanks, I will have to try that.👍
Nice review Nige little to big for me but fascinating
that looks great Nigel can`t wait for you to build it
Nigel+ i just had a thought watching your video here i was thinking about my detal master aftermarket parts i have for automotive models i have hose fittings and fuel line fittings made out of aluminum maybe to help in detailing my 1/24 scale aircraft they even have steal braded lines in different thinkness as well just a thought what do you think the even have sparkplug as well just trying to brainstorm extra ways to up the details one these large kits
I remember admiring this kit when I was a kid. I could never afford it. It must be at least 40 years old?
It is getting on!!
WW1 is my favorite period for aviation models. Thanks for the pointers on rigging. What material do you recommend for rigging WW1? Thanks for video.
If you google modelkasten rigging, you'll find it, but I think I'll look a bit further that stuff costs almost as much as a WNW kit😢. But mine also real planes those
Sopwith Aviation was based in Kingston, just saying Nige 😉😉Lovely kit from Charlie
Thanks James.. you best build one then buddy.
@@NigelsModellingBench I've built flying Sopwith's lol
Could'nt you just coat the easy line ith clear paint, white glue, or cyano?
If you coated it with cyano it would wrinkle up. All products would solidify and crack up I reckon.
