Here's the original
Here's the runway!
My version
The 2F.1 Camel is smaller than a normal Camel. Here's a comparison with an official Camel and a Shapeways kampfflieger Camel.
Thanks to Reduced Aircraft Factory for designing this. Its a lovely little model. I made a slight modification removing the top wing Lewis and fuselage Vickers and replacing them with a double Lewis on the top wing. It'll come in handy as a balloon buster with both guns loaded up with incendiary ammo.
This Camel is one of the few originals that still exists and is on display at the Imperial War Museum in London. It shot down Zeppelin L-53 in a crazy mission being launched from a small lighter towed behind the destroyer HMS Redoubt and flown by Lt SD Culley. I've been waiting ages for a ships Camel to re-create this flying legend, thanks again Reduced Aircraft Factory.
