A real stunner. Those trainers were very attractive by RFC standards.

Nice Pup! I couldn't imagine an enemy drawing a bead on this thing without getting an immediate headache...

That's great! Such complicated decals on a biplane in 1/72
I like to carve old kits into something roughly aircraft/tank shaped...

And that's not the most dazzling scheme available! This sheet was out of stock when I got the kit:

Nice! Did the ground crew play chess on it when it was not flying? Just curious.
1964-2024- too many years, too many glue fumes!

Nice work Andrew and what a great scheme. I like the Pup - it is a good looking biplane.

Re: Airfix Sopwith Pup 1/72
I wish airfix would repop this one in their vintage line.
Re: Airfix Sopwith Pup 1/72
What a striking scheme! Fantastic work on this. The decals line up beautifully. Checkers look like it would be quite a challenge.
