Sopwith Camel Kitbash


A change of plan for the next WW1 Knights of the Sky game, for which I was originally going to build some Fokker Dr1's but will now bash together three Sopwith Camel kits. These are the latest boxing of the ancient Revell kit, rather than the Esci/Academy kit I've built before, as I have three of them to construct for the game as 73 Squadron machines. 


I gave one of the new kits away to a young player at the club the other day, which I'm now kicking myself for, as it had the excellent new decal sheet. Oh well, at least it went to a good home. I'll adapt the decals included in the kits with some extra ones to replicate something like the distinctive 73 Squadron designs.

  1. I made that Revell kit back in the day. It lasted up to the moment my dad accidentally dropped a bag of Dinky toys on top of it.

  2. Me too. Mine ended up dangling from the ceiling.
