Sopwith F.1 Camel Clerget ProfiPack Eduard 82172 assembled plastic model for gluing aircraft
The Sopwith F.1 Camel is one of the most famous British aircraft of the First World War. With his appearance in 1917 over the battlefields of Europe, he made a significant contribution to the Allies' conquest of air dominance over the Central Powers. Camel could be used in different ways thanks to different engines. There were versions such as a fighter, an observer, a seaplane and a light bomber. Even the Americans ordered several machines for their expeditionary corps. The camel was also used to attack zeppelins, destroying three of them. They have a total of 1,294 murders. He also became famous for allegedly shooting down Manfred von Richthofen (although not so long ago it turned out that the red baron was shot down from the ground by a machine gun). During the war, 5,490 Camels were built, making it the most massive aircraft in England. The aircraft received its nickname Camel because of the cover above the machine guns, which resembled a camel's hump. Armament consisted of two 7.7-inch Lewis machine guns and up to four 11-kg bombs under the fuselage.
