The Guillow Camel (part number GUI801) is a detailed 1:12 scale balsa model kit inspired by a renowned British World War I fighter. With a 28 inch (711.20 mm) wingspan, this large-scale kit offers an engaging build for experienced modellers and enthusiasts aged 14 and over, delivering authentic lines and display-ready presence once completed.
Historical Inspiration
Flown by distinguished pilots such as Lt. Col R. Collishaw, Major D. R. MacLaren and Capt. Roy Brown, the Camel earned its reputation for combat agility. Brown engaged in the dogfight linked to the downfall of Germany’s famed ace, Manfred von Richthofen, the “Red Baron”. The type’s rotary engine torque and the concentration of engine, pilot and guns in the forward fuselage contributed to its formidable manoeuvrability.

This temperamental British World War I fighter was flown by such distinguished pilots as Lt. Col R. Collishaw, Major D. R. MacLaren and the most famous of all, Capt. Roy Brown. Capt. Roy Brown engaged in the dogfight that resulted in the death of Germany's ace of aces, Manfred Von Richthofen popularly known as the "Red Baron". The Camel had great ability in combat due to the fantastic torque of its rotary engine and the fact that engine, pilot and guns were all located on the first seven feet of the wooden airframe.
