Airfix - Sopwith Pup - 1:72
Product Code: A01062V
One of the classic British fighting aeroplanes of
the Great War, the Pup was originally called the Sopwith Scout. However,
as it was significantly smaller than its predecessor, the Sopwith 1½
Strutter, pilots almost immediately referred to it as the ‘Pup’.
Entering combat service towards the end of 1916, the Pup was an
excellent dogfighter, possessing incredible manoeuvrability and allowing
the Allies to wrestle a period of hard-fought supremacy over the
Luftstreitkräfte. Despite the single Vickers .303in machine gun being
too light for modern aerial combat, almost 1800 of these diminutive
fighters were built.
