This is a
full-color 3D print of Sopwith Camel B.6401 of Lt. Lloyd S. Breadner of №3 Naval Squadron. Canadian L.S. Breadner flew both Sopwith Pups and Camels with 3rd Naval Wing/No. 3 Naval Squadron RNAS, claiming ten air victories including a Gotha bomber. In 1918 he was promoted to Major and was moved to No.204 Training Squadron. In WWII he became Air Chief Marshal for the RCAF. B6401 featured extensive markings, including sunbursts on the fin and elevators, circles on the upper wing and King of Diamonds cards on the lower, and a maple leaf in a diamond with a crown on the decking.
No painting is necessary -- this model comes printed in full color, ready to use. It comes with an integral flight peg for mounting on game flight stands (not included), which can be carefully removed with a cutting tool, if desired. The peg is designed for a fairly tight fit; you can file it down slightly if you prefer a looser fit. The model does not come with a flight stand, maneuver deck, or plane card. You can find an unofficial plane card for this plane in this paint scheme at

Material choice: High-Definition Full Color has a smoother, satiny surface and deeper colors; Full Color Nylon 12 (MJF) makes a less expensive alternative, with a rougher, matte surface and less deep blacks. Both are robust materials and fine for gaming. Attached here is a picture that shows the difference between the surfaces. "Matte HDFC" and "Smooth FCN12" choices mean the prints are oversprayed in the factory, and the difference with the overspray is subtle. You can find more material photos and comparisons at
