Billy Bishop, WWI Canadian Ace, 1918

Model: 10211
Scale: 1/30
Finish: Matte

This finely detailed 1/30 scale figure portrays Billy Bishop, Canada’s most celebrated fighter ace of the First World War. Depicted in his 1918 Royal Flying Corps officer’s uniform, Bishop stands in a composed stance, binoculars in hand, embodying the vigilance and confidence of a combat pilot during the final year of the air war over the Western Front.

Credited with 72 confirmed victories, Bishop became one of the highest-scoring Allied aces of the conflict. Flying aircraft such as the Nieuport 17 and later the S.E.5a, he gained renown for his aggressive tactics and daring solo patrols against German fighters and observation aircraft.

The figure captures the tailored look of a late-war RFC officer, from the service tunic and field cap to the carefully sculpted equipment and insignia. Finished in realistic matte tones with crisp uniform detailing, this piece serves as a tribute to Canada’s aviation legacy and makes a distinguished addition to any WWI aviation or Allied air power collection.
