{"product_id":"1792104099-0614b466","title":"Sopwith Triplane Model Plane Balsa Wood Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sopwith Triplane model plane balsa kit is designed for you to build a traditionally constructed, rubber-powered, free-flight model of a 1917 Triplane of No.1 Squadron RNAS. The No.1 Squadron RNAS (latterly 201 Squadron RAF) flew Triplanes between December 1916 and December 1917 over the Western Front before being belatedly re-equipped with Sopwith Camels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstruction of the model plane from this kit uses the traditional method of \"stick and tissue\", that consists of a built up balsa wood skeleton (framework), covered with a tissue skin. The balsa frameworks are built over a plan that is printed at the exact scale of the model, which is in essence a real engineering drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower is provided by rubber strip motor that is wound up before flight. Free flight means just that – once the model is launched, it is on its own. It must follow a predetermined flight path established when the model is initially adjusted for flight or “trimmed”. This type of traditional building technique and flying requires a degree of patience and skill, but is extremely rewarding. Also in the spirit of the traditional kits, additional items required to build the plane model are things that can be found in the kitchen drawer or are easily available on the high street. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModel plane kits are the perfect gift idea for Father’s Day. It is more than just a gift – it’s a bonding experience that brings generations together. Spend quality time with your dad as you work side by side to build and customize your model plane. Once assembled, the model plane serves as a stunning display piece that adds a touch of vintage charm to any home or office. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Model Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59220131807564,"sku":"SST","price":49.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/4530\/6188\/files\/SST0.jpg?v=1793624638","url":"https:\/\/thebritishemporium.com\/products\/1792104099-0614b466","provider":"The British Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
