Snipe drawings & info required

I am looking for photocopies of the original drawings for the early type fin/rudder & top ailerons for the Sopwith Snipe as well as those for the early fuel tank "not the Badin type", can anyone help ?, Also can anyone tell me how long the tapers are for the ends of the fuselage cross members as all it says on the drawing is that they taper, but no length is given for the taper.
Cheer's.

Hi Bob,
Have had no luck chasing that up either. I only have the drawings of the later fin, rudder, top aileron etc. I have drawings of the "imber" self sealing tanks but don't think any drawings of the standard fuel tank are available. Jim Kiger's "Replicraft" drawings have all the dimensions of the standard fuel and header tanks so I'm using those to base the tanks on.

Cheers, Nick

Hi Nick
Hope the drawing I sent to you arrived OK.
I am going to have a look through the Salamander & Dragon drawings to see if they include the drawings that I am after for the Snipe.
Cheers.
Bob.

Hi Bob,
The drawing is still caught up in the Christmas mail. I'll drop you an email when it arrives. Many thanks again.

Cheers, Nick
