Thank you all! I just loved the look of that Puma in the movie so I had to build it.
@Adrian: Sadly there's no conversion set so I had to do it all on my own.

Mhm - that could be tricky. They made a whole new "glass house" in front of the normal cockpit windows...

Now all you need is a little Rambo firing an RPG from inside the cockpit!
Fun one, thanks for sharing. 👍

Hello Ice, I also became a great fan of this helicopter when I was young and now I am planing to build a 1:32 scale from revell and eventualy convert it to an electric RC flying kit.
