Description

Airfix

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.

This particular model includes decals for the aircraft flown by Australian Flight Sub Lieutenant C J Moir of No 4 Squadron Royal Navy Air Service. He was shot down and killed in action when flying Sopwith Pup N6185 (squadron identification 'A' and expanded to read Anzac) on 10 May 1917 whilst escorting bombers near Zeebrugge, Belgium.

Also included are decals for Sopwith Pup flying with No.46 Squadron, A7325 B Flight Royal Flying Corps.
