Set Facts
- Seeing a warplane rendered in Lego is uncommon. The LEGO Camel version was the first of a series of three 'sculptures' of aircraft released at the beginning of the decade. The Sopwith Camel F.1 was introduced to the front line of World War I in July 1917 and is probably the most well-known biplane fighter in history.
- Sopwith Camel was designed by LEGO designer Henrik Andersen.

Sopwith Camel Reviews
Brickset
“This set is totally good! It is a beautiful model and you can even find a way to put figs in the cockpit! The wings are nice and I personally love the flaps! The machine guns on the nose are also a cool touch! This is perfect to display or fight against the Red Baron's... More Fokker Dr.1 triplane.”
