Sopwith 2F1 Ship's Camel. THIS all-new study of the Sopwith 2F.1 Camel by Colin Owers provides fresh insights into the'Navalized' version of Sopwith's most famous creation.The author traces the type's service career , both in 'The Great War' and after,with an emphasis on the pioneering wartime aircraft carrier experiments, lighter towing against Zeppelins and other shipboard developments.There are over 60 photographs to support the narrative and Mick Davis contributes hyper-accurate scale plans in both 1:72 and 1:48 scales based on original Sopwith factory drawings. In addition there are three pages of 1:32 scale structural GAs providing internal fuselage details and fittings-absolutely ideal for any modeller wishing to super-detail available model kits to this scale. With Paul Monteagle's evocative cover and three pages of new Ronny Bar colour profiles, this is a complete one-stop reference on the 'Split Camel' that is unlikely to be surpassed.

Building the Wingnut Wings Sopwith 5F.1 Dolphin and Pfalz D.IIIa BUILDING THE DOLPHIN AND PFALZ D.IIIA FOR our seventh Wingnut Wings modelling Special, Ray Rimell, one of the World's most experienced WWI aeroplane modellers, turns his attention to the Sopwith 5F.1 Dolphin and Pfalz D.IIIa. With a compelling combination of modelling know-how and unique archive material, the book includes 100 exclusive colour close-ups, over a dozen all-new Ronny Bar colour profiles and more than 205 model images in the extensive build logs for both kits. Hyper-detailed step-by-step guides backed up by over two dozen contemporary photos, drawings and a unique photographic 'walk- around' of the RAF Museum's restored Dolphin, provide invaluable insight into cockpits; armament; interior details; powerplants, finishing and rigging. Ray takes the reader through the entire building operation, from initial pre-painting to final addition of laminated wooden airscrews, with suggestions on painting ,decal application, addition of extra detail and improvements inside and out all supported by scores of carefully-chosen images at each and every stage. Together with comprehensive bibliographies for both subjects, an extended Jargon-Buster, as well as listings of relevant accessories and decals, our latest Special is laden with top-notch material including a superb wartime centre-spread Dolphin portrait, original Dolphin rigging notes and invaluable airframe close-ups of the RAFM 5F.1 during restoration at Cosford. Although the 64 page book is aimed at modellers of the 1:32 Wingnut Wings kits, it has broader appeal for those working in other scales since a great deal of the content is pure documentation providing an unrivalled in-depth resource for anyone building either of these classic WWI biplane fighters. Published in November 2018.
