The Pup is supposed to be one of Airfix's best. The kit scales well, the
only corrections being to details. The Windsock Datafile Special lists all
the required corrections, and has many color detail photos of the Pup on
display at Hendon.
The back of the color sheet in the Eduard 1/48 Hannover shows a 1/48 Pup
kit in the future!!!
