Academy 1/72 Sopwith Camel WWI Fighter Model Overview

Famous for its dogfighting record and distinctive appearance, the Sopwith Camel remains a favourite among scale aircraft enthusiasts. This Academy 1/72 kit recreates the airframe with carefully moulded parts that let builders represent the Camel's characteristic silhouette.

A Historic Fighter Worth Modelling

The Sopwith Camel earned a reputation through its agility and twin machine gun armament, contributing significantly to Allied efforts. As a modelling subject it offers both narrative interest and a crisp biplane shape that looks striking once painted and finished.

What to Expect During Assembly

The Academy kit features precise moulding and fits that reward careful assembly and alignment. Small components require gentle handling, and the completed scale model makes an attractive addition to a themed shelf or a larger WWI display.
