Full-scale Sopwith Pup replica kit for sale Based on original Sopwith and Replicraft drawings.
Designed and modeled entirely in 3D using SolidWorks to correct known issues from historical plans and ensure dimensional accuracy.

What s included in the kit:

Wing kit: all wooden components CNC-cut and ready to assemble.
Wing ribs are already assembled (spars not glued).

Fuselage kit: all wooden parts are prepared and accurately cut no final assembly has been done to allow full flexibility during the build.

Tail unit: wood and metal components supplied (horizontal stabilizer partially prepared).

Metal fittings: all fittings are laser-cut in S355J2 structural steel, with bend lines marked.
Bending and welding are to be completed by the builder.

This is a true builder s kit: a rare and faithful WW1 replica, designed for experienced aircraft builders or enthusiasts familiar with vintage construction methods.
No shortcuts, no glue or welding done the builder retains full control over each assembly phase.

Important note on actual kit value:
I originally spent 28,000 (excl. VAT) just for the materials aircraft-grade wood CNC-cut, and laser-cut steel fittings in S355J2 structural steel.

This does not include the time spent building the full 3D model of the aircraft in SolidWorks, based on original Sopwith and Replicraft plans, with corrections and technical validation.

The asking price (23,000 without. VAT) is therefore lower than the cost of materials alone, making this a rare opportunity for any serious WW1 replica builder or enthusiast.
