Perfect to end to my day watching you work that ol Magic of yours and on that Camel of yours too! Been waiting for this one. See you on the next vid Cap'n Tim.
Been waiting for this one, Tim.....and a great job to be seen! Something special for the display cabinet in the end. I fully understand your dilemma with failing eyesight and roguish fingers and hands that shake and have a mind of their own....perseverance is the only option (and I've already built three WNWs, heightened frustration at times, but ultimately grand planes when finished). Look forward to the next phase of the build....I think underneath it all you are secretly enjoying it 😁
That's looking good so far, loving the use of the oils. I'm having to repair an old build of an Eduard Airco DH2 that sadly fell prey to one of my cats and I think is beyond repair.I didn't do the rigging on that one but it could be a practice mule for a 'damaged' crash-landed aircraft!
Hello Tim. I've been watching this build in reverse order, and I really appreciate all of your helpful tips as I contemplate starting on my WNW kits (4 of them) some day. Any chance you could put up a link to that nifty clear resin pen/applicator as well as the small UV light tool? Many thanks.
Hi Mark… reverse order? Ok nothing wrong with that I guess 😁 That clear resin pen thing was from ebay I think, certainly nothing special, cheap too. You could get it from anywhere really.. Range, Hobbycraft somewhere like that. WNW kits are pretty straightforward if your used to biplanes. A lot of modular building and painting. Assembly right at the end. Rigging is nothing to be scared of either. Just take your time, good ca (superglue) and don’t expect to complete it in one session. I’m so glad you found the video useful mate.
First of all you do beautiful work. Second all that detail blows the Academy version (which is a rebox of the Hobby Craft made in South Korea) away!! It's highly unfortunate especially for those like me since I never really researched any of the references on line since the detailing was so sparse. I added my own pito tube made from copper wire recycled from a desktop computer. That was pretty much the only thing that I did to modify it. Now I bought the original Hobby Craft model and it identical and still missing all the detail that the Wingnut Wings version has but I'm not going to shell out $80.00 for a CHINESE MADE Sopwith Camel!!!! All this detail is WASTED once assembled as you cannot see it no matter how accurate or how well you paint it! It's too bad that it is as it does make for a realistic build. However I have to both design and manufacture my own version of the missing parts. I'm not going to make an oil can or fuel tank because you'll never see them any way and it will add to the weight. And those paints are NOT LACQUER!! No matter what they say Lacquer is NOT a generic term of medium and IS a specific formula and was invented in 1923 by the Plasti-Kote company. No such thing existed before then and acrylic is a product of the 1950s'. NOT THE SAME THING! I don't know why they're calling their products that other than to win the confidence of those that actually use it. Lacquer it NITROCELLULOSE (tree gum sprirts) and NO ACRYLIC IN IT! Don't be fooled - acrylic is a styrene based monomer and therefore is a synthetic finish formula. Either way thank you for sharing this with the rest of us - it is inspiring to see and a real treat for anyone into model building and aeroplanes.
Well Solaries, that’s the longest comment I’ve ever had! Wingnut are fantastic that’s for sure but not perfect, I know exactly what you mean about hidden detail. It’s horses for courses really but biplanes doing generally have open cockpits and you can see inside should you want to. WnW kits are very expensive nowadays and I doubt very I’ll be getting anymore (I have two others in the stash). Regarding paints.. I don’t know, I seen grown men have blazing rows about what to call different paints. All I know is these MRP and Mr Color paints are the business. Thanks for stopping by mate. 👍👍
Dodgy old eyes or not, lovely job on that instrument panel!
Cheers Robert 👍
Fantastic!! Demystifies the WNWs instructions-----at least for me.🙂🤩😊
Wonderful! I'm about to start my first WWI aircraft. So, this is timed perfectly!
Bang on Rashomon
Fantastic, the rigging is superb. As well everything else. Makes me want to run downstairs and finish my model.
Get down there Pete, it ain’t gonna finish itself...
@@TimsScaleModelling deal!
Excellent build and some great techniques. Looking forward to the next installment
Thank you Dhrem
Excellent work!!!!!!😮😮😮😮
great tip regarding the resin pen! never seen that before.
They are quite handy.. good for all sorts really Rob, cheap enough too

Can’t thank you enough mate.. the video is actually a disaster in terms of views. I needed that Dave 🤝👌
Lovely build Timothy
🤣👌
Ta Timbo
I’m so glad that in the great sell off of WNW kits that swept the country last year, I kept one! Great work and that wood.......*goes to buy abteilung
Ha! Yep Abteilung are the tits mate (well the one I've got is)
You just get better and better Tim
Very kind Les 🥰
It’s easy when the kit is so good mate.
@@TimsScaleModelling I’ve built quite a few but none close to yours mate

Thanks Robbo, perseverance yes mate I need that. No display cabinet here, they just get boxed up and stored... if they’re lucky.
Well, that was very damn helpful! I will be much less intimidated now when I start mine. Thank you!
Don’t be. Once you get into it you should be fine. Just take your time and enjoy it Holer.
Looking really good, Cant wait to see part 2
Thanks Wendy, I’ll get it out as soon as I’m able 😉😉

Thanks Decs... good idea with the DH-2! 😎
Looking really good so far 👍
Nice work , must get round to building a wnw one day
You must mate... but it’s does seem that WNW ain’t coming back..

I don't know why the quality of the video was so bad!
Thanks!
Lovely job, almost makes me want to build bi-planes - nah!
Geddon man!! Try a little Eduard bipe Dave, cheap easy and a good way in... you know it make sense
@@TimsScaleModelling hey I’ve built a Sea Gadiator and a Tiger Moth, that’s enough for any one mans lifetime
🤣🤣🤣 I know mate... it’s funny how the mind forgets pain...
