It's not often that you see one of these.  As a matter of fact I've never seen one of these until this morning.  One of the tremendous blessings of this website has been the people that share the same passion about history.  One of my most enduring relationships that I've cultivated since the beginning of this website has been with Bob Livingston.  Bob is the author of Under the Southern Cross and Strike Back! and was the technical adviser to the art and SFX crew for the movie Unbroken.  He continues his research on this incredible aircraft that helped win the war in the Pacific and has consistently provided me with technical advise on all of my B-24 designs and some of my other aircraft. 

JR1942 Welcomes the 17th Aero Squadron!

Fun project.  This was a fairly simple build and less complicated than modern aircraft.

Added some color and a few markings.

Trying to take advantage of the moment.  I don't have any pressing requests for the time being so I wanted to spend some time working on a piece that I've meaning to get too.  I've always thought the Sopwith Camel was both an iconic and legendary aircraft before I ever knew what it was when I was kid.  The blueprint is complete and now I get to do my favorite part next...adding paint and emblems!
