The Pup was a nice kit. I had more problems with aftermarket decals than the kit itself.

Thanks Rich, Paul!
 
Pup was earlier aircraft, not as fast as the Camel. Camel had higher climb rate, hard to tell them apart for me. Think the lower wing dihydral is a good indicator as well as the cowl.
 
The Pup was the predecessor of the Camel, entering service in late 1916. It was much lighter and agile than the German fighters of the time. By the spring of 1917 the Pup was outclassed by newer German fighters and the Camel was developed to replace it on the front lines.


Cheers,
Rich
