Nice.

But why a Swopwith Camel?

Not complaining, but just wondered why out of all the things they could have
done someone decided to make a sculpture of this.

Someone came into work one day and said, "I know, I will make a Swopwith
Camel".

Hmm.

Because they had never done anything remotely like it before?
Because they needed a new set, and someone had built a really cool
Sopwith, so they went with that?
Because they needed a good excuse to sell us some brown plates?

Hardly top of the list of 'things to make from Lego' is it?

Why not?  Better than yet another <insert select item>.
