Boy, that's one expensive 1:48 Sopwith Camel!
Thanks for sharing, Frank,

I'll bet the 1/48 scale is a typo! At that price, It sounds as if this is a Revell re-box of the 1/8 scale Sopwith mixed media kit that Hasegawa did many years ago. There were three in the series they called "Museum Scale" series, a Camel, an SE5 and a Fokker Triplane. Large scale built up wood wing and fuselage structure with metal and plastic cast parts for the engines and weapons. Note that these were 1/8 scale, not 1/48.

I wondered about that: either that or it's ?7.99, and it's a re-pop of the really old ?Aurora? Camel, like they did with the SE5. The Hasegawa Museum Grade idea is nice, but seems way out of line with Revell-Germany's usual pricing and positioning

On the first german site (sgk-modellbau), I found the Camel listed for ?7,25.
Kind regards, Sven
O.K. That's probably the old Aurora mold then. I know that was one of the three Aurora molds that Monogram did some clean up work on, the other three were the SE5 and the Fokker D.7. I think Monogram originally intended to do some more but found that the old Aurora molds were very hard and therefor expensive to work on so no more were done.
