Sopwith Tabloid (Late)

The Tabloid was the land based variant of the Schneider developed in 1913. It was quickly adopted by the British military and was used both by the Royal Navy and the Royal Flying Corps. Later versions had ailerons on both wings and a larger vertical stabilizer on the tail. Most were armed with Lewis guns on the upper wing and could carry small bomb loads. The Tabloid was used mostly for recon and light bombing missions. I have included my skinning templates and a full set of number decals.
