LEGO® 10226 Sopwith Camel


10226 Sopwith Camel is a Creator set released in June 2012. It includes 883 pieces.

The Sopwith Camel was a British First World War single-seat biplane fighter introduced on the Western Front in 1917. Manufactured by Sopwith Aviation Company, it had a short-coupled fuselage, heavy, powerful rotary engine, and concentrated fire from twin synchronized machine guns.

The plane uses mostly dark green, dark tan, dark grey and black parts. The control stick in the cockpit actually moves the ailerons, elevators and rudder through strings routed through the plane. The rotary engine spins when the propeller is spun.

The question the world is now asking

«Hey all I'm new to the forum but have been going to this site for years now.

I have gotten up to step 45 on the Sopwith Camel and been having problems. I followed what they wanted but the default position of the back flaps are sticking up instead of even like it should be. I figured out the rubberband attached to the window is a problem but there isn't much I can do since this is how it's supposed to be built. 

Any help would be great or if anyone else has had this problem too»
