The Camel is Revell 1/72 and is OOB and BA (Before Aeroclub). There are no aftermarket products on the kit. In fact, there were no aftermarket parts anywhere in the world at the time it was built. The AD Scout is a vacuform kit with exactly three lengths of strut material. No decals, no metal. One very strange bird which is why I built it. You know what they say, "Birds of a feather...."

Paint a base of yellow ochre ( Floquil ) , preferably by brush so you start getting difference in shades, Floquil is so thinned down that it wont look thick although it was brushed. Let it dry , at least a week and then apply 1 very fast coat, with a flat long brush, of Flo-Stain Rosewood, let it dry and then if needed apply a bit more, but as dry brushing. This will give you a perfect Mahogany color. You can try different woods with other Flo-Stain colors Try this on a prop. and see the result.
