Some patience still required but all is looking good.

Wow long over due in injection molded.

All I can say is WOW. I dearly love the old Aeroclub vac Pup kit ,but I'll be ordering the new injection version as soon as they're available.Thank you John.

I have two of the Aeroclub Vacuform Sopwith Pups, one not quite half finished. Very nice model. I have quit building in 1/48, at least for now. Too bad the new Aeroclub Pup isn't in 1/32. Oh that's right, WNW has a Pup in 1/32. Well, good news for all of us 1/32 by WNW. 1/48 by Aeroclub, and 1/72 by Airfix, their best WW-1 kit.

mIKE the screwball :cool:

one thing i noticed about the eduard it is missing the triangular indentation under the nose behind the cowl.i was thinking i maybe could use one of the parts from the roden strutter,and just chop into it i have like one complete and a couple parts kits of the strutter given to me from a friend.

There are one or two other issues as well with the Eduard kit:

This is the model that got Pheon started - so I really should finish the poor old thing!

[coyotemagic]

Yes, you should, Rowan!

[GAJouette]

Yeah what Bud said.

[albatros1234]

i just panned thru the pup thread, fantastic work rowan. i will use this as reference when i build my eduard pup. i'm thinking about also choping the v cut behind the cowling as that really annoys me. i wonder why the omitted that detail when the put it on the tripe?

[coyotemagic]

Now you know why Gregory builds vacs, Scot. Many of them, like Koster, Tom's and Sierra are more accurate in shape and dimensions than the early Eduard kits and inaccuracies are easier to correct. I've got a Koster SSW D.III that is much better than the Eduard kit.
Cheers,
