WWI Ace’s Choice: Sluban Sopwith Camel Fighter Set (B1293)

Soaring into History: The Legendary Sopwith Camel

The First World War introduced a new dimension to combat: the skies. Among the agile, canvas-winged fighters that ruled the air, the Sopwith Camel stands as a true legend. Furthermore, this iconic biplane secured its place in history by downing more enemy aircraft—over 1,294 victories—than any other Allied fighter of the Great War.

Consequently, pilots piloting the Camel often engaged in some of the war’s most crucial and celebrated air battles. Specifically, the plane saw intense action during the Battle of Cambrai in 1917, where its superior maneuverability gave Allied pilots a critical edge. Moreover, it was the preferred aircraft of aces like Major William George Barker, who became one of the most decorated Canadian airmen. Building this set allows enthusiasts to directly connect with the bravery and mechanical innovation of the era. Therefore, this 1:35 scale model is an essential addition for any serious collector.
