A brief history of the model:
The Sopwith Snipe was developed as a successor to the legendary Sopwith Camel and entered service in the final months of World War I. Featuring a more powerful engine, improved visibility, and better handling characteristics, the Snipe was favoured by many pilots for its stability and climb performance. Though it saw limited combat before the war ended, it remained in RAF service into the 1920s and helped set the standard for postwar fighter design.
