Thank you mates!
This was done long ago, today I would try another kind of the dark wood. Here it is mahogany which is very hard and has some strong grain.
It was mainly shaped with a little violinmaker's plane (I added new pics). But because the wood is so hard, I got a fat blister on my finger, despite wearing work gloves.
I'm still in quarantine with Corona, but slowly coming back. What is irritating at the moment is my loss of smell. I hope I'm not mixing up the thinners for the different paints! 😉
I hope to be able to continue building the Camel Comic again shortly.

Some years after finished model I decided to replace the plastic airscrew by a new wooden one.
