Postage Stamp PS5350-4 1:63 Sopwith Camel Royal Air Force

Designed by Thomas Sopwith's company, the Camel was the most successful Allied fighter of World War I. The single-seat biplane got its nickname from the hump over the cowling of its two forward machine guns.

A powerful rotary engine and a short, concentrated fuselage gave the Camel unmatched maneuverability. It was difficult to handle, but experienced pilots turned that instability to their advantage in dogfights. With a top speed of about 113 mph and a ceiling of 18,000 ft, the Camel was credited with 1,294 enemy aircraft. This Postage Stamp 1:63 scale replica is finished in Royal Air Force markings with a red cowling.

This die-cast metal model comes with a plastic display stand. Adult collectible, ages 14+.
