The Sopwith Camel F.1 was one of the most iconic British fighters of World War I, introduced in 1917 and flown extensively by the Royal Flying Corps and Royal Naval Air Service. Famous for its maneuverability and combat effectiveness, the Camel quickly became a feared opponent, credited with more aerial victories than any other Allied aircraft of the war. Its distinctive design, featuring a powerful rotary engine and concentrated firepower from twin synchronized Vickers machine guns, made it a true symbol of early air combat.

Academy’s 1/32 scale Sopwith Camel F.1 kit captures the detail and charm of this legendary aircraft. This edition includes Australian decals, allowing modelers to build versions flown by Australian aces. The kit features finely reproduced fabric and rib surface detail, a highly detailed cockpit with control column and instrument panel, and accurately molded engine and machine gun assemblies.

Large-scale molding ensures crisp detailing throughout, while optional markings and rigging potential make this kit both challenging and rewarding. Ideal for enthusiasts of WWI aviation and Australian military history, the Sopwith Camel F.1 in 1/32 scale builds into a striking display model of one of the most celebrated biplanes in history.
