A few other problems, no option for the different fin tops, ILS antenna on the tail of the FAA version with the mounting hole raised and opened, no option for the different arrestor hook farings.

A decent size Skydiver from UFO would be good, in 72nd it should be around 20 inches long going by some of the published figures, 120 ft overall length.

They have scanned XW222 at the Ulster Aviation Society, we will just have to wait and see if they go ahead with it.

I hope not, personally I think it's terrible looking, the 315(Deblin) markings it was carrying were much better looking and in my opinion a better tribute.

Now what can go wrong with this 🤔

I was able to provide a copy of Des Hughes unfinished, unpublished memoirs to Andy ,he's been able to obtain a lot of information from them.

It's a definite for me, has to be Des Hughes N1801, PS-Y.

A bit lazy, all the schemes lifted directly from this Caracal decal sheet. Caracal CD48206 - USAF CH-53 Super Jolly Green Giant & Pave Low https://share.google/gLXIp3vlxtsb2LqZl

Someone on Ebay is hopeful 🤪 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/236149195604?itemid=236149195604&norover=1&siteid=3&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-215725-24755-0&mkcid=16&chn=psoc&cid=120234770755310536&tag4=120234770755320536&tracking=120234770755340536&utm_medium=paid&utm_id=120234770755310536&utm_content=120234770755340536&utm_term=120234770755320536&utm_campaign=120234770755310536&fbclid=IwdGRjcAPrGQBleHRuA2FlbQEwAGFkaWQBqyjwjoNvKHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHoyXp6uND5TgoEsDWd_99VOk5DgFhNJOdZ-oWl-db1bl-7GXP7nQ9HEOsTHD_aem_xJ0YEFGamodgZRne8POF3Q&utm_source=facebook&campaign_id=120234770755310536&ad_id=120234770755340536

The RWR fit, or most of it, the sponson mounted MAWS are not included, is included in the sprue added for the Tigermeet boxing, the BGS parts including the larger sponsons are on as separate sprue.

Hopefully we get some aftermarket decals for the Puma and maybe an HC.2 conversion. I'd like to build three, grey/green, Lichen /NATO and maybe 223 in overall NATO, the early metal blades are the big problem and it would be nice to have a Gimpy for the door. It's been confirmed that both German and RAF parts are in the new boxing, RAF scheme not finalised as yet.

Probably the old Monogram 48th one.

The last boxing had all the options on the sprues, BGS and HC.1, and with the larger sponsons XW223 can be made.

Good to see the 32nd Puma, I've a couple in the stash, Tigermeet and the last BGS one but having new RAF decals makes this a definite.
