Hey! I love your stuff! I have built two of your kits previously, Bluenose, and Fair American. I am always into improving on the kit, usually up to museum quality, and my intention is to do the same with your Sopwith Camel, which I have recently aquired. My question; I wish to make a display model that is half bones and half covered and finished. I would like to know if you could put me in contact with someone who can manufacture a cowl, camel back and fuselage cover from aluminum, or any moulded material, that is true to scale for this kit.
I was origionally considering the purchase of the Hasegawa 1/8 SOPWITH F.1 CAMEL for this reason, but I believe your kit has better scale properties, and is offered at a reasonable price. If you can give me some help, I would be a most happy return customer! Thanks! Paul...
Camel Cowl follow this link to Arizona Models, they can custom make you one.

I'm a bit late replying to this, but maybe it will still be of some use. I made a CAD model of the cowl for the Camel, and had it printed out. You can see the progress with it here, post #13 (I still have a way to go!):

I have been considering uploading the design to shapeways, so others could print it out too.
