The Authentic Models Sopwith Camel Airplane memorializes the most famous plane used in WWI. Responsible for more aerial victories than any other Allied airplane during the war, this single seat biplane was also credited with almost 400 deaths from non-combat related causes due to its small 28 feet wingspan. Called the "camel" because of the humped fairing over the twin machine guns, pilots had to master the tricks of flying this difficult airplane in order to harness its agility and accuracy. This large, yellow replica is beautifully made with incredible attention to detail and will become the crowning item in your collection of memorabilia. Some minor assembly is required.
