Popular Post mustang Posted February 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hi. This is my first post here showing a finished model, I did do some scratch building. yes I know the port door should be opened but after doing so much inside the cockpit it seamed a shame to hide it all.. 90 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallyho Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 A fantastic build of an old classic kit that mate. Admire all the detail, how did you stay motivated on a project of that size? How long did it take you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I worked on Pumas for a couple of years at RAF Odiham. Your model bring back many memories. It’s spot on ! Brilliant modelling! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 Thank you Tallyho, I really wanted to do something with this as I had one as a teenager and destroyed it, so when I had the chance to get one and redo it I set about doing what I could to it I ended up with over 250 photos of the build as I did so much. I started it in Aug 2019 and finished it July 2020 building it on and off with other projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Very nice indeed and it brings some memories back,.... good and bad! I didn`t realise that the rotor blades folded and I never saw the cockpit doors in use,..... but they do show off the great detail.

I believe only the starboard side door could open, the port side was always sealed, but I opened mine so I could see inside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 A brilliant build of a challenging model. My only comment is that it is a bit too clean for a Puma! Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
