Balsa USA presents the premier RFC (Royal Flying Corp)

"Dog Fighter" And possibly the most famous airplane of the First World War, The Sopwith Camel.

With this new fighter you'll be able to go toe to toe with anything the Axis Powers have or are likely to have in the future! And because this is a Balsa USA Camel you won't have to worry about it turning on you, it's a nice "friendly" Camel that's very well behaved in the air, and like all Balsa USA models is as easy to build as to fly!
