Review on πŸ›©οΈ COBI Historical Collection Sopwith Camel: Relive WWI Aviation History with This Authentic Model by David Shah

Snoopy would be proud!

I have bought and built many WW2 Cobi models and found them to be very close in quality to Lego. Yes, if you're used to building Lego sets you'll need to get used to the way Cobi presents its instructions visually, but that shouldn't detract from the building experience. This kit is not a difficult build, but I found it (and the finished product) very enjoyable. The colors are amazing and it looks amazing from every angle. The tail is printed and everything else is decals (except for the name tag). Many Cobi decals have a fairly wide transparent border around them (as in this case) which can contrast with the model (with fingerprints etc) but I found cutting with an Exacto knife made them great. The model is solid and definitely playable. The pilot included in this set also looks great. I find that these sets are not only fun, but also a good starting point to learn more about the story behind them. I definitely recommend that!

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Crumpled
