Aeroscaele's resident master of wings, wires and wind in your face has returned with another superlative Great War build. A deadly fighter with a not-so-deadly name is the subject of this build. I've always wondered. Did the Germans want to run from it, or did they want to pet Sopwith's Pup?

Ivan, While I don't build WW1 (mostly through lack of the needed skills), I still appreciate the beautiful builds that is see in Aeroscale. And your Pup certainly is a magnificent build. Your review is certainly well detailed in what one will face during the course of their build.

A bit of a follow-up to Ivan's feature. Pups will fly again over Vimy Ridge.

An extraordinary build. I too wish I had the skills for this.
