Bruce, it is cool to see you building a Saab Tunnan! Well guys, it is Matchbox. Often the oversized panel lines of those old Matchbox kits are monitored. Sure, they are. If you want to build a more accurate Tunnan, you should go with Tarangus or even Heller. Nevertheless if you accept the Matchbox c...

Well Bruce, wise words. I think ​it is good to keep a part of your youth alive—the good memories. Building models, after all, is just a symbol of a positive piece of the past. ​Life is meant for creating memories. Because memories are what remain when we are gone. They are what define our soul. So y...

Took a while since I have read your progress, Bruce. I guess once you are finished you will get a wonderful replica of the famous Camel.

Looks good so far! Exciting choice and subject Bruce!
Following your Build In Progress! (Always great to see your work).

I wonder when the figures I have sent might arrive at yours Bruce....
Hoping further one of them might fit or if you can make them fit. Let's see.

If you like I could print the linked pilot in the size you need it.

Bruce, have you ever tried Magic Sculp? It might be a good solution to sculpture the pilots figure.
It is a 2-compounent resin filler which can be softened or better blended with water.
You know Christian, master of home-made scratch model kits of unusual aircraft swears to this filler.

Bruce! I can't wait to see that Camel finished! Just looking at the red painted cowling and the fine engine, everything is spot on. Usually, especially my own models, come to life when the decals are on. This one here is already, at every step of the building process. And you made imperfections of t...

Perfect in craftsmanship and photography. Incredible work, Bruce!
