Snoopy and His Sopwith Camel Atlantis Toy & Hobby Plastic Model Kit Review

Imagine coming across a beloved childhood toy that is still being made, or is being made again, exactly like the original.  That happened to my husband recently when he came across the Snoopy and His Sopwith Camel Airplane model kit.  

As a child, he loved his model airplane and has happy memories of "flying" Snoopy and his Sopwith Camel around his home.  It was a pretty cool snap-together model that even a child could make, and he did.  Once it was made, the little propeller would turn with the help of a battery.  Unfortunately, he has no idea what happened to his plane.  His family moved often during his childhood.  Many of his possessions were either lost or discarded for him.

When he showed me the kit on Amazon, I promptly ordered it for him.  Little did I know that Snoopy, with the help of my husband, would literally be flying around my head in his Sopwith Camel plane when I went to bed on Valentine's Day.  Oh, and as with the original, the battery operated propeller does turn giving the model the appearance of flying.

 ATLANTIS TOY & HOBBY Plastic Model Kit-Snoopy and His Sopwith Camel, RedCheck PriceThis model is truly awesome!  I was amazed by how easy it was to put together.  Since no painting is required, Snoopy and his Sopwith Camel were ready to fly again in an hour or so.  My husband did decide to paint Snoopy's eyes so they would show up better, but otherwise the detailing on the plane was done with the included stickers.

 

What comes in the kit:

• 38 colored molded plastic parts
• Battery operated engine with spinning propeller - battery not included
• Snoopy
• Dog House Display Stand
• Decals 
• Instructions

A Few Additional Notes About the Model

 

I don't know why the Amazon listing says "red" in the description.  The plane is yellow with a red engine cover.

 

Also, the battery has to be inserted in the opposite direction shown in the instructions for the propeller to turn correctly.

 

Snoopy's eyes are raised in the while molded plastic, but they are not colored.  If you want Snoopy to have black eyes and brows, you will need to paint them on.  My husband used a black paint pen.
