This is another very old model I built twenty or more years ago. The last of the British racer conversions, the Sopwith Tabloid. I touched up the paint a little and rigged it, but nothing else, so it's a little rough.

The engine is fully enclosed, which made it pretty fast for only 80 horsepower.


Absolute minimal markings.


Manufacturer's label on the tail.


The Lewis gun was mounted to the side, firing through deflector plates. Mounted to the top of the wing it was impossible to change the drum.
