Building Fokker DR1 for years on occasion. From Freilers Historical Models I always wanted to try the Kit. Very challenging build.
Thank you for your comment.
Fokker DR1 is also my favorite aircraft.
I didn't know about Freilers Historical Models.
@@ScaleModelsJPN Paul Freilers was in Torrance CA back when and closed his two model shops around the 1990s. He displayed some nice scratche built Models and now the location is a chicken sandwich location. I remember a 1/48 B-29 that was a good scratch built diorama.
He built some models like a car for James Garner that was a replica of a car Garner drove in a movie.
Beautiful build
Thank you !
What an amazing build, I build wooden warships from the age of sail, yet the rigging on them pales into insignificance when I saw the rigging diagrams for this 'plane. Well done to you, a lovely model, and you have built it beautifully.
Thank you for your comment.
Been trying to decide whether or not to buy this kit. You have convinced me. Magnificent.
Thank you for your comment.
Rigging takes time, but it's a good kit.
A very special model. Nice choice. Very interesting.😲😲😲👍👍👍
Thank you !
My early aviation roots were grounded in WWI model aircraft and crop dusting biplanes (converted Stearman biplanes). It was 1959 when I began spending summers on my grandparents farm in North Louisiana. A crop dusting airstrip was just across the highway about 1 mile from the farmhouse. Every morning the crop dusters would roar right over our roof at about 80 feet AGL enroute to spray neighboring fields. Cotton was the crop of that decade and DDT was the weapon of choice against the dreaded boll weevil. After waving to nearly every pilot coming and going I would retreat to our huge front porch where my older uncle helped me assemble many Aurora and other fighter plane kits. Each airplane was built with beautiful paint jobs and rigging. When I returned home after summer my mother would hang my models from long threads run across my bedroom ceilings. The aircraft were hung with great care in flight poses chasing each other in dramatic dog fights. The Fokker Triplane diving on my favorite Nieuport 11 was heart wrenching! But the little Nieuport remained aloft for years, the Fokker pilot must not have been a good marksman. Same was true with the Sopwith Camel after the Albatross and the Spad after the Fokker. I also had a Gotha bomber up there and an English bomber that I do not recall it's manufacture. My friends would come often to lay on twin beds beneath the action making machine gun sound effects as we flew those airplanes countless times. This video constructing a marvelous example of a Sopwith Camel brings back many happy memories. Especially since all of my models disappeared into no man's land, that thing that occurs when an oldest son marries and leaves a mother's nest. This phenomenon is much more dangerous than an encounter with the Red Barron! The last I saw of my wonderful airplane models was back in 1972. At least I went on to build and fly many R/C airplanes until I got my private pilot's license in 1977. Then I had the privilege of waving out the open door of my Piper Cub to little boys and girls that might be inspired to fly themselves someday by my flying over and wagging my wings in a friendly gesture of friendship.
Thank you for your interesting memories.
I have a Stearman kit, so I'd like to make a video someday. When I was a kid, I used to hang an aircraft model on the ceiling.
@@ScaleModelsJPN what's the engine on this camel? Clerget or Le Rhone?
Both 1/16 and 1/8 of Hasegawa are Clerget 9B engines.
@@ScaleModelsJPN Thanks for response! Clerget 9B is the way to build William Barker's Aircraft :) I wish there is B.R 1 version as well so Raymond Collishaw's Camel can be built
Superb model, great build!👍
Thank you !
Very nice first world war model biplane Sopwith Camel. Fantastic. 🤗👍👏🔘🔘🔘🔘
Thank you !
Wow! Thought this kit was wood like it's larger 1/8 scale brother. Rigging complexity adds spice as well. Beautiful model of a beautiful plane!
Thank you for your comment.
wooden kit of Camel was in 1/8 but it's out of production... 1/16 Camel is new but smaller in scale and made of plastic
Wow!
Thank you !
very cool subject! as a big fan of Wingnut Wings i say it's the same but BIGGER!
Thank you !
@@ScaleModelsJPN You're Welcome!
Wingnut kits are a much newer and better detailed and quality kit just not this big... This is a great kit to super detail if you like scratch building
@@nigelsmith7366 Thanks a lot for your comment! yes i agree.
2/3 through my Hasegawa Camel build and loving it. My only criticism, there is a very real need to paint the kit for realism. The shiny brown "wood" detracts from the model and isn't realistic enough. There's A lot of paint work but well worth it for the finish it gives this great kit.
Thank you for your comment.
It's true that painting the frame is a lot of work.
🤝👌👍
Thank you !
Top wing looks bent??
Thank you for your comment.
It seems to be slightly bent.
That's the way the actual airplanes were built for some unknown reason. Normal dihedral is usually positive (up) but then think of the F4 Phantom tail. Just an update as my original comment bothered me. That top wing is supposed to be straight/level with the bottom wing having 5 degrees of dihedral and an optical illusion. Of course a pilot or rigger could change that top wing somewhat for whatever reason, say handling of this difficult to fly airplane
🇬🇧🇬🇧🙋🙆🙌
Thank you !
Very impressive , well done !
Thank you !
Why are you playing the he French national anthem,la marseillaise for an ENGLISH AIRCRAFT
Thank you for your comment.
I love Tchaikovsky.
This video was made to match the length of his "1812 Overture" music.
FoodDo, you can't differentiate between the Marseillaise and the 1812 overture.....
You mean BRITISH aircraft.
