Due to the recent death of one of the partners at Aeroclub a necsessary restructuring has taken place. While some stock is being burned off at e-bay one need kit looms on the horizon. The long awaited Aeroclub 1:48 Sopwith Pup (9901) appears to be almost ready to produce. Images are property of Aeroclub.

Has anyone seen this kit? Hyperscale did a review but I have not found it available for sale anywhere.

I have found a place where they have been actively chatting on another forum. They seem to have shut down their website and have only recently gotten a limited supply of "STRUTZ". I have made another inquiry on the 1:48 Pup and the "STRUTZ" but even reviewing their activity it seems they are working only on a limited basis.

I have an answer from Aeroclub!!! I will order the Sopwith Pup for review and some "STRUTZ" as I am almost out of the yellow tipped sets.

All the best

Hi Stephen
I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of it. Inspired by your success, I've e-mailed John again to try to buy one. (I also ordered some Aeroclub bezels to do a new panel for my Flycatcher, as my treasured stock of ancient Reheat ones seems to have been misplaced somewhere amid Castle Aerocale's move to the Isle of Wight.
)
All the best
