Excellent model. Looks quite big: 1/24th??? or 1/32
I'm not sure about "dusting off" that much, since an operational aircraft would be dusty anyway.
A suggestion would be to work on the machine guns and make them look very real: the purpose of this
flying machine is to bring those two up there and the twin Mg's gave the camels their name.
[You may find color photos to match or use your imagination of what they should look like.]
Another great project ( not sure I could do it myself ) would be to give the propeller a varnished wood grain
effect paint job. The idea is to devise a mix of two colors on spare flat plastics and experiment to find a technique,
until you are satisfied with the results. Not as easy as it seems , but if you get it right, you become the Master of the craft.
Finally, but truly optional, is to consider the engine: ware, oil stains or/and fumes at exhaust. ( to ponder is
'is this a brand new plane from factory' or 'has it been around for quite a while...'
I hope you like these comments. They were meant to guide you and give you the taste for more.
Remember that as a modellist any result is worth the effort. It keeps getting better all the time.
