46.SOPWITH SNIPE

THE 1918 Sopwith 7f.1 Snipe is meticulously profiled by the late Jack Bruce in this classic DATAFILE from July 1994. Relatively small numbers served with the RAF during the closing stages of the war with barely 100 in service by the Armistice. Post-war it equipped a dozen squadrons and was only declared obsolete in 1928. There are over 90 photos crammed into this 36 page monograph,along with over a dozen contemporary sketches, Colin Owers' scale plans in 1:48 and 1:72 scales, plus detailed camouflage and markings' notes,  expansive appendices and a model kit list up to the date of publication-much expanded since 1994! This excellent DATAFILE offers un-matched reference and documentation for flying scale enthusiasts and plastic modellers building this classic Sopwith fighter design...
