1/72 Airfix - Sopwith Pup

The 1/72 Airfix Sopwith Pup kit offers a detailed miniature of one of the Royal Flying Corps’ most well-regarded fighter aircraft of the First World War. Known for its agility, reliability, and excellent climbing ability, the Sopwith Pup saw widespread service in 1916 and 1917 and became a favourite among pilots for its balanced handling and robust design.

This kit captures the delicate structure and distinctive appearance of the biplane, including its slender fuselage, forward-firing machine gun, and finely moulded wing struts. The model includes authentic surface detail and accurate proportions, with markings for historically significant aircraft from the period. Despite its small scale, the kit retains the key visual characteristics of the original, making it a rewarding project for enthusiasts of early aviation or World War I history.

This classic kit is reissued using Airfix’s original moulds, preserving the charm and character of the original release. It features finely moulded parts, updated decals, and the iconic retro-style box art that defines the Vintage Classics series. A great choice for both nostalgic modellers and aviation history enthusiasts.
