Thanks everyone for the great comments . I tried to get the base to look like the 2nd pic in this excellent walkaround http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/paul_tosney/puma_hc1/index.php?Page=2 I also made a wheel chock like pic 7 but put it on the other side . I'd recommend this kit in any of its various boxings (theres a gulf war desert pink boxing as well as this one) its a great build and can usually be found fairly cheap , cheers tony

superb work love the colour looks spot on and in such a small small scale dont think i could manage..

This is stunning, I didn't realise just how small it was until you held it, I wonder if it's one of the Puma's I refuelled...

Thanks andy, if you were ground crew then maybe you could shed some light on something for me? While looking at reference pics of the rotor head and tail rotor I noticed that there were different colour bands painted at the base of each blade , i replicated these on the model but still dont know the reason for them. I presumed it was so they went back where they came from if disassembled , maybe the unit is finely balanced a bit like a car wheel ? cheers tony
