ACY1624   Academy Plastics   1/72 Sopwith Camel WWI RAF 

TECH NOTES
    This is a 1/72 Plastic Sopwith Camel WWI Fighter from Academy Plastics.
                          It's for ages 10 and up.

     The Sopwith Camel is considered by many to be the best British fighter
used in WWI.  The Camel was fast and extremely nimble.  Armed with two Vickers
7.7mm machine guns it made a formidable opponent.  The name "Camel" came from
the hump in the fuselage which covered the two machine guns.  As successful as
the Camel was, it was difficult to fly.  Perhaps that is the secret of the
Camel, it was so effective because only the best pilots could fly it.

          The exterior surface of the plane is detailed with metal seams, bolt
