Large Printed Plans for a Giant Scale 1918 Sopwith Snipe1/5 Scale, 60 inch wing span
In the spring of 1917, Britain's most famous World War I fighter, the Sopwith Camel, made its debut. Shortly after deliveries to front-line squadrons of the Camel began, Sopwith designed a new single-seat fighter called the Snipe. The new airplane was simply intended to be a derivation of the Camel, with improved visibility for the pilot, and gentler handling qualities, more reminiscent of the earlier Sopwith Pup. After nearly a year in development, the new fighter went into production in spring 1918, and the first examples arrived in squadron service on August 30 of that year.
The Snipe was well-liked by those who flew it, but many Camel pilots, having mastered the tricky habits of their previous mount, were reluctant to relinquish the Camel's superior combat maneuverability for the Snipe's more stable flight characteristics. Snipes generally were used for escort work, but the airplane could be equipped with four 9 kg (20 lb) Cooper bombs beneath the fuselage.
These are 4 large printed sheets of clear detailed drawings with all of the ribs and fuselage formers drawn so that you will have no problems scratch building a quality example of this historic aircraft. The construction is conventional balsa, spruce and plywood and the experienced scratch builder will have no problems following these plans.
These plans are new, Printed on bright white 36 inch bond paper.
