Dangerous to Enemies and Novices Alike

The Camel was an aircraft of two faces. Thanks to its powerful rotary engine and the concentration of mass in the front of the fuselage, it was incredibly agile—capable of turning at a radius enemy pilots could only dream of. On the other hand, the strong gyroscopic effect of the engine made it very tricky to fly and fiercely unforgiving of pilot errors. For experienced flying aces, however, it became the perfect weapon, reliably dominating the skies over the Western Front trenches with its twin synchronized Vickers machine guns.

Premium Detail in the Larger 1:48 Scale

A true gem from the traditional Corgi brand awaits you in this category. The choice of the larger 1:48 scale allows for a much more precise rendering of fine details that would inevitably be lost on smaller models. The model boasts a fantastic representation of the fabric covering texture, delicate wing rigging, and a perfect replica of the rotary engine. With its heavy metal construction and attractive historical livery, you will add a centerpiece to your collection that instantly transports you to the era of the first knights of the sky.
