Westland Puma.... Airfix..... 1/72

Interesting kit thats definatly showing its age...... Was new tool in 1973!......a bit rough round the edges and the glass fit is terrible but enjoyed it cos you know i have a thing for revisiting kits of my teenage years and trying to bash them into something decent this time round lol

Excuse dodgy pics..... Camera on my new phone isnt the best

Cool, that turned out well mate, looks good.
I think I did a Westland Lynx when I was a nipper, the smaller one.
I'm same as you mate, trying to redo the kits I made as a kid, only this time better!
Got my Airfix German E-boat in the stash, can't wait to redo that one, as I literally used to have it splashing round in the bath, and I don't think I even painted it! Lol.

I did this one, and it started a helicopter theme as I did a ‘Jolly Green Giant’ as well.

You can see the thickness of canopy glass as well, perseverance and dedication is what you need with these!

Ive been looking for a lynx but i want the version with skids not wheels which is either the naval or more modern versions

Nice work Paul, for an old kit it has turned out rather nicely.
