1/144 Sopwith Triplane - Kampfflieger
A interesting, but short run and short lived aircraft largely seeing service with the RNAS (Royal Naval Air Service) in 1917, approx 147 were built (compated to the 5,400 Sopwith Camels produced), A note of merit would be the Canadian pilot Raymond Collishaw, scoring 34 of his eventual 60 victories in this aircraft, making him the top Triplane ace.

ReplyDeleteNot my experience - I ordered a pair, and they arrived in Australia a week later.
ReplyDeleteVery impressed with the delicacy of the model - Robust and as detailed as some 1/72 kits.
Highly recommended. I've ordered some decals from Riviresco to go with them.
