Description
This is a full-color 1:144 3D print of Sopwith Camel F1430 of Elihu Kelton of the 185th Aero Squadron, US Air Service. The 185th had just received their Camels the month before the Armistice, and as an underutilized night-fighting unit they took what daytime interception and patrol duties they could find. On 30 Oct 1918, Kelton was heading toward an enemy balloon in F1430 when he got into a scrap with Fokker D.VIIs of Jasta 10. His plane was forced down in German territory, as was that of his attacker, Justus Grassman (ten air victories). The undersides of F1430 are painted in a dark color (probably PC10 or PC12), reflecting their low-visibility night fighter role.
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.

Shipping: Shipping varies from about US$7 to US$15 per order, depending on the destination country. See your cart for an exact number — the prices may vary with currency fluctuations. Orders over US$300 may get free shipping (but see the note on mixed materials).
Mixed Materials: Nylon prints are shipped from a different factory than resin prints, so if you place an order with a mix of Nylon and Resin, you will be charged shipping for each material, and each will arrive separately.
Taxes: Sales tax — where applicable — will be added for U.S. shipments. Value-added taxes (VAT) may (or may not) be collected by your postal carrier on receipt, which is known as “Delivery At Place”. Unfortunately, since my printing and shipping partner has no way of marking shipments as VAT-paid, this website cannot collect VAT on your behalf.
Customs: Most orders should be small enough to avoid customs duties, but you may want to check your local regulations. If duties are due, they may be collected by your postal carrier. E.U. customers may be able to avoid duties by keeping their order under €150.
