Christmas would hardly be Christmas without something special from Wingnut Wings - and this year Richard Alexander has sent word of something very special indeed... a Sopwith 5F.1 Dolphin!
"Hi,
We are pleased to announce that our new release 32073 1/32 Sopwith 5F.1 Dolphin is now available from Wingnut Wings stockists worldwide (or within the next few hours or days).
The Sopwith 5F.1 Dolphin was a high altitude fighter introduced in late 1917 and was powered by the 200hp Hispano-Suiza V8 geared “Hisso” engine. It was faster and performed much better at high altitudes compared to it's more famous counterpart the Sopwith Camel. The Sopwith Dolphin featured two bay wings with negative stagger, a completely open top wing centre section, deep fuselage and was armed with up to 4 guns. Nearly 1800 Dolphins were built by The Sopwith Aviation Company LTD, Hooper & Company LTD and The Darracq Motor Engineering Company LTD. It wasn't officially declared obsolete by the RAF until September 1921 and a small number continued to see service with Poland in the early 1920s.
