The Sopwith Camel was a legendary World War I fighter aircraft introduced in 1917. Powered by a rotary engine and armed with twin synchronized machine guns, the Sopwith Camel was known for its agility and deadly dogfighting capabilities. Canadian ace Major William George Barker famously flew a Camel, credited with over 40 victories, to become the most successful single aircraft in British service.

Get into some dog fighting with Guillow’s Kit #105 Sopwith Camel!  This meticulously crafted 1/19 scale balsa wood model features precision LASER-CUT balsa parts for a precise build experience. With a 18-inch wingspan, this kit includes everything you need—detailed building plans / instructions, scale WWI plastic wheels, a full set of decals, vacuum-formed plastic parts, a FAI Tan rubber power motor, propeller, and tissue covering—to create a replica of the aircraft credited with downing 1,294 enemy planes, more than any other Allied fighter of the conflict. Perfect for hobbyists aged 14+, whether you’re a detail-obsessed scale display builder or a free-flight enthusiast, this made-in-the-USA kit offers hours of hands-on enjoyment in its building and flying.

The kit includes all the parts needed to build the plane, but you will need a few supplies to enjoy this creative hobby of building miniature balsa wood planes: a flat surface on which you can pin the parts (for example, a piece of thick cardboard or a sheet of cork), pins to hold the parts in place during construction, a razor blade or craft knife, sandpaper, glue, paint, and a paintbrush. These items are not included in the kit.
