That looks totally fun! I hope they come out with some other fun sets like that; perhaps a submarine so Oliver can build it :)

Saw a presentation that Jamie (Sopwith designer) did in Billund, DK last week when I was there. He had several early variants of the model and talked about all the challenges they went through getting everything just right. Coolest thing is that the ailerons and elevators actually work!! They're connected to the joystick. I also love the simple, but very elegant prop, and the stiffened wings (3 layers of plate!)
