Found a Snipe

And some other very obscure WW1 aircraft here.

Never seen one like it before...

Toko are now defunct but the range and future releases are now under the Roden lable. The Snipe is very nice. Notice also the Salamander, not quite so nice but not bad.

I am in the process of making the Snipe, it goes together ok although mine required some filling and careful remedial work around the upper part of the forward fuselage.

However, I would question the shape of the tail plane. All the references show a double curved leading edge, but the kit has a simple curved tail plane (like the Camel etc.). Is this correct or has someone slipped up in the manufacture of the kit?

yours, Chris

I've seen that the original one was double curved, but was "corrected" in later versions and enlarged in a still later version.

CAM's website has details about that.

Scroll down to the SNIPES and check out Snipe E8263

You'll see the profile and the text regarding the tailfin.
