Sopwith Camel F.1 1/48 Scale WWI Fighter Biplane Model by NewRay

Easy assembly and looks great

Fun for a kid

Firstly, this is a toy, not a model in the glue/paint/hobby sense. And it's a good one. I bought it for my younger brother, and he really likes it. That being said, the instructions included are for 4 different models made by the company, assumedly to cut corners. This make the instructions very small, and even though they aren't to difficult to understand if you really look at them, it was very confusing for my brother. If you buy this for a young person, be sure that they can either understand all of it or be ready to help me out. Aside from that, this model is ok. It's not that advanced. You can expect it to be difficult to fully put together decisively, as there is no glue. There is also s a small issue with the back area, where you may have to glue a piece in to make it stick. Lastly, there is one, small, personal gripe I have. Unlike the 3 other ww1 fighter models made by this company, the two front machine guns are very lazily made in comparison (as I said, a small gripe) they are not even full cylinders. Had it not been for time constraints I might've bought a different model.

easy to assemble and fix like a real one

Some very visible parts are overly heavy/crude. I will substitute scale size scrarchbuilt parts.No pilot provided. Very basic instructions, although this is a very simple build.

I was able to build it, but needed instant glue to help it stay together. Low quality kit...

I took a chance and bought all 4 of the whole collection of these WWI airplanees I took that chance because I shopped this brand before and it was easy to build not to fragile but it would break if you stepped on it or somthing but it was a great size fun for me and a great product hope you enjoy it go and watch my youtube video about them. My YouTube J.D.P22JAPAN enjoy.

My young son enjoys these model kits. It’s a nice looking model plane. These kits don’t make museum quality models. However, they are fun to build, and not too difficult to assemble (with assistance) by kids who are too young for more complicated models. Comes with a nice paint job, and the propeller spins. Glue is still needed, otherwise some parts will pull out. This plane requires a small screwdriver (included) to attach some parts, so younger kids or kids with less developed fine motor skill may need help. The finished product can be played with, but it’s plastic and will break if dropped on hard surfaces or with rough use.
