The Vintage Aviator Ltd in NZ have built a new Sopwith Pup appropriately named "Anzac".
It has yet to be certified for flying but it certainly looks sweet!

Lovely little aeroplane. Thanks for posting Barry.

Love the Pup, it just looks like a flying machine should.

This particular replica represents Sopwith Pup N6185 "ANZAC", Sopwith built, flown by Flight Sub-Lieutenant CJ Moir, 4(N) Sqn, RNAS, April-May 1917. FSLT Moir notched up 2 kills in this Pup during 'Bloody April' but on 10 May 1917 was unfortunately killed by anti-aircraft fire over Zeebrugge at just 21 years of age.

Sweet. Sure looks sharp. My wife loves the Pup.

It looks great, Barry! Thank you.

I hope that it will be certified for flying soon.

Very nice pic Baz, the red fin sets it off a treat, and thanks for the history Carl

Certainly looks the part Baz.
Maybe a runabout for Captain Triggers.

Yes Rob, I could see him enjoying that!
When oh When will we get a Pup from Ares????
I do have a Shapeways one but would lust after an Official one with its own deck & stats.
