For modellers. The RoG kit provides a good base for a Puma model, but requires some sratchbuilding.

Thanks!

Maybe someone like MR Models will provide an update set.

Never quite understood why manufacturers make kits of prototypes...

Cheers,

Sideskirts and the slat armour are additions that do not exist in the RoG kit.

What else requires attention?

Hi Nikos,
the biggest problem will be the "hedgehog" armor on the turret an hull roof. I modified the rear hatch and the optic on the turret roof. Detailed pics of the real one can be found here:

Please take note that the RoG kit is OOP since this year, so anyone interestest better hurry getting the kit.
