Description

WOW 127; The Sopwith Strutter was a WW1 British deigned two seat multi role biplane utilised by the RAF, American, Belgian and French Air forces. Post war it was operated by several air forces including the Japanese in their 1918 Siberian campaign. It was significant in its development in that it was the first British two seat ‘tractor’ fighter and also the first to enter service with a front firing synchronised machine gun. It was given the name 1½ Strutter because of the long and short cabane struts that supported the top wing. The Strutter was flown by several aces including Raymond Collishaw VC and several thousand aircraft were built during its service career. The Strutter was over 25ft long with a wingspan exceeding 33ft, it normally carried a crew of 2 and had a maximum speed of 100 MPH. This version of the Strutter in French Air Service comes in a striking light cream colour with the unit emblem of a frog in a ring on the fuselage. This version is limited to 10 pieces worldwide and is priced at $499 which includes free postage worldwide and GW066 ‘The Artist’ figure as per the photos.
