Sopwith Camel

 

 

Sopwith Camel 1:6 Scale

Most of the parts in this kit are pre – shaped. Wood and veneers in the kit are the same quality which is used for the Proctor kits. You will find necessary accessories as turnbuckles, all rigging wires in stainless steel, and many more fittings in the kit. Parts which will add to scale appearance are the rubber cord loaded undercarriage, the rubber cockpit boarder, the rudder horns, the 175 mm dia. plastic engine cowling, and last but not least the fwd. upper fuselage which is a plastic part to cover the machine guns.  The model is built fast due to it’s size and few parts and may be transported to the airfield completely rigged up. All this will give you a fine scale model within a short time for lots of enjoyable flights. Due to the fact that this kit is manufactured by Proctor it is not necessary to tell something about its flight capabilities. Flight characteristics have been trimmed by the kit manufacturer to an easy controllable behaviour.

This model may be recommended as a starter kit for scale modelling and/or scale competitions.

Sopwith Camel 1:4 Scale

Mick Reeves was placed first at the English Scale Nationals in 1989. The kit completely equipped. You will find all necessary material in the kit to build the model. Major parts are the 260mm dia. spun aluminium engine cowling, followed by the radial dummy engine,  the  flat rigging wires with relevant spanners, the wheels, with the pre- bent piano wires for the undercarriage, the two Vickers guns and all pre- bent cabane struts. The pre- shaped ribs, bulkheads and GRP manufactured leading edge will ease the assembly of that beauty. All what is missing is glue and covering material to finish that project.

With relevant photographs of your preferred aircraft you are very well equipped to be a candidate for one of the first places in a scale competition. But not only for competitions, also weekend leisure flying will make you proud of your well done job.

Rigging up the model on the airfield will be done in 5 minutes, as fast as the larger version of the Camel.
