Sopwith Camel Full Size Replica Kit

Is there a place to buy Full Size Sopwith Camel replica kits?

I've checked out Loehle and Aerodrome Aeroplanes, but can't seem to find a Camel kit. I am aware of Replicraft's blueprints, but am looking more for a kit.

Also, if I was to build a replica from a kit, do all of the controls (flight controls) come with the kit? If not, where would I get them?

Thanks for any help I get.

What about flight controls?

Thanks for your reply (even though I was worried that would be the answer).

But what about flight controls?

Were controls similar from plane to plane?

Are we still allowed to use the controls from WWI, or do flight regulations make us use something different.

Thanks in advance again.

Basic control systems developed in WWI period became more or less standard thru WWII. Many homebuilts and more than one Standard Category types being built at this time still use stick and rudder controls conceptually identical to the Camel's. although I can't seem to get the blip switch to work on my '38 Aeronca. LOL

One of the greatest things about the "experimental" movement is the opportunity to try something (virtually anything) new or stick with something that has not gone out of vogue.

Camel kit

You might try Arizona Modelcrafters. They make parts for fullsize aircraft also.
