About the Sopwith Camel

This aircraft was created by the Sopwith Aviation Company and was used during the First World War by the British.

About the kit

I bought this kit at the Eduard stand at SMC (Scale Model Challenge) in Veldhoven, the Netherlands in 2025. I have the F.1 variant with a Bentley BR.1 engine and will be making the “Black Maria”, used by the Canadian pilot Raymond Collishaw.
