I purchased the Pup also known as the Scout at a toy show today. Nice die cast plane. Vibrant colors. I don't collect WWI planes but it's a really cool looking aircraft and I couldn't beat the price, $20.
I also saw the HM Hellcat. I could have picked it up for $175. Didn't feel like spending that kind of money especially after hearing all the negative critiques. I did like the fact that it has 'foldable' wings. Maybe next time...

Just check ebay - lots of the Gearbox Sopwith Pups, many for under $30.

Seems tempting to me, though the heavy bracing wires and screws on the wing struts sort of kill the look. Still, it would be tempting.
I also want to say that the New Ray WWI planes are also 1:32 scale or pretty close. They have a Sopwith Camel, Fokker DVII, and I think the Fokker DR1. Those are plastic and very toyish, but if you're really desperate for 1:32 WWI items...
