History
Among the renowned British combat aircraft of the First World War, the Pup was initially known as the Sopwith Scout. However, due to its smaller size compared to the Sopwith 1½ Strutter, pilots quickly nicknamed it the 'Pup'.
Entering service in late 1916, the Pup excelled in dogfights with its remarkable agility, enabling the Allies to gain a period of hard-won dominance over the Luftstreitkräfte.
Although equipped with a single Vickers .303in machine gun, which was considered light for modern aerial combat, nearly 1800 of these small fighters were produced.
Whether you're new to model building or reminiscing about assembling this classic kit in your youth, the Sopwith Pup provides an engaging and fulfilling introduction to military aviation modelling. Make room on your workbench and enjoy the process of recreating this legendary World War One fighter.
The Sopwith Pup is more than just a model - it serves as a link to a pivotal era in aviation history, when brave pilots flew these agile machines to defend their nation. Its inclusion in the Vintage Classics range ensures this cherished model kit continues to inspire new generations of modellers while evoking nostalgia for those who built it in the past.
