1:72 REVELL SOPWITH CAMEL - "SNOOPY EDITION"
![Album image #1 Album image #1](/albums/img/3/8/4/1249384-30596-29-pristine.jpg)
This is the 1978 issue of the kit that was released in 1963.
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/3/8/5/1249385-30596-38-pristine.jpg)
Basic kit, easy to build with a few inaccurate bits but Snoopy doesn't care!
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/3/8/6/1249386-30596-60-pristine.jpg)
Needed a touch of filler, but not bad.
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/3/8/7/1249387-30596-66-pristine.jpg)
The wing struts in place.
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/3/8/8/1249388-30596-26-pristine.jpg)
A coat of Alclad 2 white primer will show the defects. Not many this time.
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/3/8/9/1249389-30596-98-pristine.jpg)
Some parts are best if painted when still on the sprue.
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/3/9/0/1249390-30596-10-pristine.jpg)
First some Tamiya Lemon Yellow, then an overspray with Gunze Aqueous Cream Yellow.

![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/3/9/6/1249396-30596-66-pristine.jpg)
The kit decals were not in good shape so I raided the decal stash.

![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/4/0/1/1249401-30596-48-pristine.jpg)
The twin Vickers guns were missing from the kit. I scratchbuilt a pair with some bits of rod and leftovers from a 1:48th Harvard.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/4/0/2/1249402-30596-23-pristine.jpg)
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/4/0/3/1249403-30596-23-pristine.jpg)
Painted the guns with Tamiya NATO Black, then dry brushed with silver.

![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/4/0/6/1249406-30596-67-pristine.jpg)
I use .006" EZ Line for the rigging on these small scale aircraft.
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/4/0/5/1249405-30596-61-pristine.jpg)
After unsuccessfully searching for a Snoopy to fit the cockpit, I decided that I could modify the kit pilot!

I made the base from a solid piece of oak wood, the edge is finished with a router. 2 coats of satin finish Varathane protect the wood.

A piece of 6mm clear acrylic rod makes a good support for the Camel.

I think you breathed a lot of life into this rather coarse kit. Snoopy is the cherry on the cake.

Thanks everyone. I will probably do some more "outside the box" builds in the future.
