This is a kit I have been after for a long time and eventually found in New Zeland!
Airfix 1/72 SA 330 Puma. The South African Air Force used them allot as their medium tpt helo during the Angolan bush war and as main rescue helo.
As a youn Air Force trainee I had my fist rotor wing flip in the back of one of these good looking French birds :-D, so it holda a special place in my memory banks. I can still recall how they use to rock from side to side on startup till the blades settled into place.
The SAAF rebuilt most of the Pumas to a local "version" of the Super Puma (Oryx) witch has stunning performance, but for me lack the looks of the old "standard" Puma.
The pianting inside the cowl is very crude, but little will be seen of it anyway. I had to make new controll collombs and yaw peddals as the office was a little bare. The one big problem with this kit is that any filling and sanding allong the joints will result in sanding away the raires rivet detail, I will have to still figure that one out....
Hoping it will look something like this - http://www.saairforce.co.za/gallery-and-media/47/puma#viewport
