Re: New Lego Sopwith Camel!
Didn't they do one of these a number of years back?

Re: New Lego Sopwith Camel!
Greetings
They did do one of these years back as I used to have it. It was pretty decent.
It looks to be about the same design with a few modifications to improve the look. The cowling and engine looks to be much better on this one but it looks like they used green pieces for the tires...why on earth they would do that is beyond me.
They were neat pieces being made of Lego parts but not very accurate. Still it is rather amazing that they can make something that looks similar to a Sopwith Camel out of Lego pices.
The one they did a few years ago had very problematic decals that lifted after a very short period of time. I suggest anyone who buys this to seal the decals on the pieces with dullcote or something. They will very easily come loose if they were anything like the past decals used.
