Roden 053 1/72 Sopwith F1 Camel

One of the famous, and the most successful fighter of the First World war, the British Sopwith Camel was built in huge numbers - during 1917-1918 the overall production of the type exceeded 5,500 machines. Initially the 110 h.p. Le Rhone engine was installed in the plane, but the majority of production machines had the more powerful Clerget 9B engine (130 h.p.). With the Clerget 9B engine the fighter surpassed the basic performance of the most advanced standard German fighters of the time, the Albatros and Pfalz. However, the newest Fokker development posed a considerable threat for the Sopwith Camel.
