I have just completed the Wingnuts Snipe and finished it in Russian markings, the kit supplied Stars and Arrows are in black but I have found this picture of Red Stars and Red Arrows, which is correct?
??
Everyone recognises Russian aircraft as having Red Stars, so where did Wingnuts get their information that the Stars and Arrows are black
There is also a serial number on the rear of the fuselage, no numbers are included with the Wingnuts kit so this poses another question, did the Russian aircraft have a serial number?
?
A translation of the Russian text which accompanied the picture reads as follows;
A Sheps - Aircraft of World War II ENTENTE
Fighter Sopwith Snipe ASA Civil War
