Hello, would like show you my latest work. I´ve been using both Voyager and Eduard P.E sets with this one, Taking the best from each set.
It has taken some time to get it ready, feel free to ask any questions and I will try to answer them.

I don't know if the word " WHOW " is the right word for you build, but that was my first reaction when i saw your Puma.
I hope that you use some AM weels with the right thread pattern for this one to complete your amazing work.
Can't wait to see some paint on it!

Wow is right. Terrific pe work Andreas. Do you have a colour scheme in mind?

Hej Andreas. Excellent build. The PE work is really top notch. The curve on the fenders appears to be perfect ... can´t have been easy to get that right? I see you also have the wheels turning. Looking forward to seeing some paint on this.

Andreas,
Wow! This build is amazing. The Photoetch is truly amazing. How did you get the curve on the fenders? Can't wait to see the progress on this one!

Thanks for the positive feeback . I am not sure about what paintjob I am going to do on this one maybe a Puma in Normandie with a two tone camo.
About the fenders, I used the plastic ones in the kit as a support to bend the P.E fenders,and by heating the P.E then letting it cool makes it easier to bend. It also stays in the bended position better.
The rim on the lower edges of the fenders was added with 0.3mm plastic rod. Still the fenders was the trickies part..
Happy new year and be safe

Some great work there Andreas with the PE, you should consider submitting this one for a Feature article.

Hello again, at last my Puma is ready, I painted it with Vallejo and Tamiya paints and weathered it with oil, enamels and pigments.
I´ll be happy to answer any questions.

That is a good build. I think you have a real contest winner there.

Andreas,
WOW. Outstanding build. Especially with all the PE. The finish is great and the weathering is just enough to highlight the overall build.
Again outstanding build.
