Description

This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of Sopwith Dolphin C4131 of Captain Frederick Ivery Lord  of № 79 Squadron.  American Fred Lord had to doctor his birth certificate to be old enough to enlist with the RFC.  He joined № 79 Squadron in March 1918, a month before his 18th birthday.  He scored twelve air victories, four of them in C4131.  In World War II he tried to join his old unit (now flying Hurricanes), but his subterfuge failed when used a second time.   This plane was also flown by Major N.W. Noel and Capt. J.D. Canning of № 79.

No painting is necessary — this model comes printed in full color, ready to use.  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 in the gallery on this page.
