Description

First built in 1916, the Sopwith Aviation Company brought this twin-gun marvel into combat as a response to the Fokker Triplane. Intentionally built to be unstable to increase its agility, it was a challenge to control. Only advanced pilots were able to fly this plane, because straight flight required constant adjustment. This handmade wooden model features accurate details of the namesake fuselage, engine, prop, and wheels.

 

Look closely and take in the details of the nine cylinder rotary 150 horsepower engine that powered the plane to a top speed of 115 mph. Silk canvas is stretched over the wooden frame of this model, and you can just imagine the impressive 28 foot wingspan. The smoothly finished wooden propeller shows how this plane could knife through the sky. Authentic decoration and twin mounted guns make this model thrillingly accurate. No wonder Charles Schulz chose this plane for Snoopy to pilot. Some minor assembly is required.

 

Order this model and enjoy the details of one the most effective planes for the Allies.
