In 1915, the Swedish Army asked for tenders for a new reconnaissance aircraft of biplane type. Dr Enoch Thulin offered his own design, type E, with 90 hp Thulin A engines. Four aircraft were ordered and used for neutrality watch at the Fortress of Boden in the north of Sweden. However, the were found unsatisfactory for this purpose and used for training duties. Omega Models are shortly to release the 1/72 resin Thulin Type E in Swedish markings, of what was Sweden''s first ever reconnaissance aircraft.

Nice to see a subject from the Swedish Royal Airforce from this period. Not my scale though, so I'll probably wait and see if something larger comes along.
Thanks For the Review
