The Sopwith Schneider was the forerunner to the Sopwith Baby.
In 1914 a Sopwith Tabloid seaplane won the second Schneider trophy.
The RNAS ordered 160 of these at the start of the war.
The originals used wing warping, later ailerons were added and the engines were uprated.
They were used on anti-submarine patrols and against Zeppelins, some were used on ships.

Photos before rigging.

I'll have a stake - through the heart. ( I would really prefer a steak!)

I think I am getting back into biplanes, but the hands and fingers do not perform quite as well as the used to do.
Like you I am having to find alternative ways to hold things and so on.

Even more models from the December meeting.
Some dubious looking characters in the last two pictures.

Here are the models from the meeting.
The open competition was won by David C with his Hawker Hunter.
Peter B brought along some of his old Spitfire models from the 1950s, they were wearing well.
Another busy club night with a quiz organised by Martin and Mince pies from John.
Merry Christmas and see you all in the New Year.

I was impressed with your model at the club meeting, a triumph even with all the problems encountered.
Great stuff.

I am unhappy with the Sopwith baby and so will leave it alone for a while, or until inspiration strikes me. Meanwhile, I have been working on another Roden 1/48 scale kit, this is the Bristol F.2B Fighter, the decals transfers have already been given a coat of varnish, just in case.
I have not bored you with the build, but this is especially for Mr. Beesting - double rigged.
