Sopwith Triplane 1/5th scale by Ziroli

The Sopwith Triplane was a British single seat fighter aircraft designed and manufactured by the Sopwith Aviation Company during the First World War. It was the first military triplane to see operational service. The Triplane joined Royal Naval Air Service squadrons in early 1917 and was immediately successful. It was nevertheless built in comparatively small numbers and was withdrawn from active service as Sopwith Camels arrived in the latter half of 1917. Surviving Triplanes continued to serve as operational trainers until the end of the war.

Your Triplane parts set contains all the shaped balsa and plywood parts shown on the plans, such as firewall, formers with stringer slots, sheets and sheets of ribs and riblets, fin, rudder outlines, interplane struts, wing tips, fuselage internal sides plus many smaller parts. Save yourself days of tedious hand cutting with this parts set.
