I am about to restart the building of Hasegawa Sopwith Camel. Fusalage mostly complete and am starting on wings. Started the project about 10 years ago and had to temporarily halt for a short time!!! Has anyone any suggestions as to how to 'age' the timeber to give it its old varnished look. Also, any ideas about covering, prefereably one side only. What glue do you suggest? All tips gratefully received.

Blackfriers do a first class range of stains,check them out at your hardware shop,Aliphaetic resin adhesive is best as you can sand it down easily,for covering I have seen some excellent results done on these type of models with Solartex.

Never mind when you retire you can concentrate on building your large collection.
I'm building the Camel now as we speak Follow along on the Large Scale Planes - LSP forum .
Its a very nice model but does have alot of inaccuracies about it .
The whole Cockpit Area underneath the Metal cowlings is very inaccurate or a better word simplified all the Engine ancilery Gear is missing etc which really cant be seen once the cowlings are attached , but for those like myself who are detail freaks can scratchbuild the missing parts.
