Sopwith Camel F.1 'Le Rhone'. Wingnut Wings.

1:32
Status:

My first Wingnut Wings model so I have high expectations.

Overall the build was very straightforward. Having the top wing split in three sections is a bonus for the tricky rigging around the cockpit. The only downside is getting the tension right with the lower wing which has a five degree upwards tilt. Quite a distinctive feature.

I have chosen the blue 'night fighter' variant from the possible five available. The nav 'Holt' lights and flares are a really nice added detail. These flew around the coast of the UK at night.

A great kit living up to WnW 'museum quality' claim. The instruction/history/photo book is a joy. 10/10.
