Microaces Sopwith Triplane CAM '10' Flown by QM Pierre Malvoisin

LIMITED EDITION KIT

Making History

Microaces love of aviation history ensures that the aircraft we reproduce as kits look fantastic on static display as well as in the air.

The Microaces Sopwith Triplane kit replicates the innovative fighter designed and built by the Sopwith Aviation Company. Flown in service on the Western Front from 1916-1917 and with its excellent rate of climb, agility and high operational ceiling, it proved more than a match for the German aircraft of the time. It's reputation spurned a brief triplane craze, directly influencing the design and introduction of the Fokker Dr.1 

This particular kit represents the French Naval Centre d'Aviation Maritime (CAM) 10, flown by Quartermaster Pierre Malvoisin. On the 12th of April 1917 Malvoisin is recorded as downing an Albatros two seater aircraft in this aircraft. It is believed that his first three victories were aquired while flying the Triplane and another two in Nieuport 17 and a SPAD VII making him the only French Naval Ace of WWI.

Included in this multi-media kit is a vac-formed cowl, spinning dummy rotary engine kit and a spinning 3D printed fuel pump prop. The resulting model has an incredible level of mechanical and visual detail that look great on display but even better when airborne.

This Limited Edition kit sees an upgrade to the detail, including a more scale Vicker machine gun and options to add more rigging too.
