The Sopwith Camel was commissioned in May 1917 and proved to be one of the most successful fighter aircraft ot the First World War. It was the equivalent of the Spitfire, being supplied to both the Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Naval Air Service. The Sopwith F1 supplied to the RFC was powered by a 110hp Clerget engine and was later replaced by the 110hp Le Rhone engine. The Sopwiths supplied to the RNAS were fitted with the Superior Bentley B.R.1. engine. Both carried twin 303in. Vickers machine guns. This superb collectors model is sculptured in pewter with a wingspan of 14cm and a fuselage length of 9.7cm including propellor. Each model is hand polished and satin finished then finally assembled and mounted onto a Mahogany veneered plinth.
