Eduard Sopwith Camel....
« on: June 10, 2025, 01:11:26 AM »
Eduard Sopwith Camel. I can't tell if they are the same plastic or not.
Is the 8056 Camel plastic different than the 82171 plastic? Just different decals?
What one should I get?

Thanks....
Thanks,

Going by Scalemates I believe they're different plastic: 8056 is the 2003 tooling (still a good build in my experience) with some new bits while 82171 is based on the 2021 tooling which by all accounts is excellent.

You can go to the Eduard site and download a PDF instruction manual for both and compare.
