Guillow Camel

DETAILS

This hugely successful British World War I fighter was flown by such distinguished pilots as Lt. Col R. Collishaw, Major D. R. MacLaren and the most famous of all, Capt. Roy Brown. Capt. Roy Brown engaged in the dogfight that resulted in the death of Germany's ace of aces, Manfred Von Richthofen popularly known as the 'Red Baron'. The Camel had great ability in combat due to the fantastic torque of its rotary engine and the fact that engine, pilot and guns were all located on the first seven feet of the wooden airframe.

For those who desire static authenticity Guillow's scale models contain beautifully accurate profiles, detailing and fittings, whilst builders who crave a flying replica can be assured of a lightweight airframe, carefully selected materials and strength where it's needed most.
