1/32 Roden Sopwith Triplane 609

At the beginning of 1916 the British aircraft manufacturer Sopwith produced a very successful single-seat fighter, enshrined in the history of aviation with the short and succinct name of Pup. This type quickly became a favorite mount of British pilots and was built in sizeable numbers for a while. When an aircraft was first introduced into front line squadrons, one of the main criteria of its fighting ability was not only speed, but also maneuverability - it was of crucial importance in dog fight conditions when large groups of British and German pilots faced each other in the air.
