Look forward to seeing this come together Mark (used to get back seat rides in Pumas out of RAF Odiham - and get the Benson ones over the barn all the time) - so one of my favourite helicopters...

 

May be an oldie but, like Heller's big Frelon, they got he surface detailing done very well with all those raised rivets!

ok some progress

I have started with the tail section

Because this is a old kit it have its problems

All the lines are molded on so i have to regrave them

Also i need some putty for the sink marks.

When sanding i lost some rivet detail so i have decieded to remove all the rivets and start over again because some pannel lines where between the rivet lines.

 

Before sanding.

Also i have inserted a plastic rod to look like the drive shaft for the tail rotor.

Like you can see almost all detail gone but still some filling and sanding to go.

After filling and sanding i will start engraving the pannel lines then primer after that rivet time

Mark,

 

I see the PUMA  flying over here so this is one  I will like to see.   When I used to go to Immingham ports they have the PUMA Flying checking the ships that have docked in the harbor .  

:wub:

your work on the instrument panel  is quality work. 

 

Nice CLEAN work on the tail section  too.

 

:yahoo:  :thumbsup: 

 

Keep up the excellent  work. 

 

 

I'm a regular visitor to Immingham port. To be sad, I just left it 3hrs ago. The only thing flying out there at the moment is the klm flight into Humberside and the occasional off-shore flights.

Never seen anything else checking the vessels alongside exept bugs in summer and birds all year round.

 

It's going to be a nice Puma! a great start.

Maybe its just vision but it looks like the box-art has much bigger sponsooms than the Rijkswacht chopper at your pics and the daco sheet?

 

I've got a KH dauphin waiting to be build as the pilot helicopter of Le Havre.

 

Happy modeling Bas
