Hasegawa 1/16 Sopwith Camel F.1 Museum Model – MU01 / 50031

An exceptional large-scale model of one of the most famous fighters of World War I.

Hasegawa's 1/16 Sopwith Camel F.1 Museum Model is not a conventional plastic aircraft kit. Instead, it is designed as a highly detailed structural display model, allowing the builder to reproduce and expose much of the Camel's internal airframe, cockpit, engine, controls and rigging.

The result is an impressive museum-style representation of early aircraft construction and an unusual centerpiece for a serious WWI aviation collection.
