Rareplanes produced a Sopwith Snipe vac form kit under the "Warbirds"
label. The other kits with this label were a Pfalz D-III/IIIa and Thomas
Morse fighter.
All three are nice kits, well made female mold vac forms. However all
three have been rendered either in resin or short run injection molding.
Still they pop up from time to time. Just last week I spotted two Pfalz
Warbirds kits at a swap meet. Certainly they were much cheaper than the
Meikraft offering.
