Making History
Once in a while we discover an aircraft livery that stands out from the crowd. And I think you'll agree, the Wings of Horus Camel is no shrinking violet!
Camel B7380 was produced by one of Sopwith's licensed builders, Lincolnshire based steam engine manufacturers, Ruston Proctor, who decided that the 1000th Camel they produced deserved special treatment of the Egyptological kind!

Included in this multi-media model is a vac-formed cowl, free spinning 3D printed fuel pump prop and rigging part PLUS a spinning dummy rotary engine kit. All these extras add an incredible level of mechanical and visual detail to this astounding model.
Unique Display Board
This Limited Edition Kit also includes a printed display board replicating the cover of the Wings of Horus souvenir brochure, produced in 1918 to accompany the presentation of the aircraft.
A very unique model with an incredible story that brings history back to life!
