Being
a fan of Argentine air force, I constructed my first helicopter in the Argentinean
contingent préfectura naval Argentina. The
puma is made from the Heller kit which is poorly equipped and lacks weapons and other electronics
(antennas), which could have enriched this kit. The
box contains only version decal for the French army
Regardles
of the problems with the kit, it is the only kit in this scale of market.
The
letters are from another kit, the rotor head is scratch-built
and the nose fuselage also.
The
painting of helicopter are of blue Lufthansa 380 Revell, Humbrol 69 for the
yellow color. The rest of the model is white matt.
This
helicopter served during the Falklands War in 1982 to go to help Argentinean
pilots in the Atlantic Ocean that fell victim to the British sidewinders.
