Kovozavody Prostejov KPM0338 Sopwith Triplane „RNAS“ 1/72

The Sopwith Triplane “RNAS” 1/72 scale plastic model kit from the renowned manufacturer Kovozavody Prostejov is designed for enthusiasts of military aviation from the First World War period. This triplane was a breakthrough design that helped secure Allied air superiority over the Western Front in the years 1917–1918. The set allows for an accurate replication of the aircraft used by the British Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS), which was the first operational triplane fighter in aviation history.

The Sopwith Triplane distinguished itself with excellent maneuverability and impressive rate of climb, making it a worthy opponent for German fighters such as the Albatros D.III. It served mainly on the Western Front in RNAS squadrons, including the famous “Black Flight” unit. The aircraft saw its combat debut in 1917 and played a significant role in the period of Allied air force superiority until the advent of newer biplane designs.
