Academy Sopwith Camel 1/72 Scale WWI Replica

The Sopwith Camel remains one of the most recognised fighters of the First World War, prized for its agility and combat role. This Academy 1/72 kit captures the Camel's compact lines and control surfaces, offering a focused build that highlights early aviation engineering.

Why Modellers Prize the Sopwith Camel

Noted for its concentration of firepower and a rotary engine that affected handling, the Sopwith Camel claimed many aerial successes. Model builders value this subject for both its historical story and the visual impact of its biplane form when completed.

Practical Build Considerations

The components in this Academy kit present a balance between detail and assembly ease, requiring patience with small fittings and alignment. The finished 1/72 model works well on crowded shelves or as part of a wartime scene where scale and authenticity matter.
