hi Keith,
you're absolutely right, I never paid attention to this
I will change the periscopes to "open" position
I am glad you liked it
cheers friend

I only have one criticism:
It's not perfect enough!
Seriously, you should be extremely proud of that kit. Don't know where your skills were at before, but the worm has definitely turned for you my friend!!
Excellent work

I am glad you understood I was only trying to be helpful. Having served on armoured vehicles for many years it was an obvious missing item to me.
I am nearing completion of the Hobby Boss kit with mine roller and carpet minefield clearing system attached.
Again, nice build sir.

I haven't posted any pictures here nor have I posted my build. Thanks for asking though. I will share some pictures if you like.
The kit is very nice and fit and finish is well above the average. I have used a couple of the Legend update kits to enhance the vehicle. The Meng mine roller and Legend attachment have been added and the minefield 'carpet' launcher is being built now. I obtained the new Legends Rocket set for the launcher yesterday.
I would build another if the dozer blade and attachments were available by themselves.

Masterful work, Gil!!!!!! Man, one look at your Puma and you can see how much work you put into that kit, amigo...whoa!!!!
Legend kits always look great, but they are an epic adventure regarding the work it takes from the beginning, given the large casting gates, etc. And that's just to get started!!
Cannot wait to see what you've got in store for the Puma regarding figures and a diorama --- after all, that cat needs a litter box!
After all of this work on the resin Puma, the Hobby Boss Puma will be an absolute breeze for you, my friend!!
Keep up the great work!
Take care, Gil --- I hope that life is good!

That is very kind of you. I will work on some photos of mine tomorrow.
I like the additional equipment added for interest, the webbing (load bearing kit) helmets etc. All typical of the real deal.
Again, superb work and work like this inspires us all to pay attention to detail.

hi
I will try and fix and adds-on onto the periscope covers to mimic an open position
lets see how it goes
the model is now complete and I guess I should be extra careful on they are going to be fitted
stay tuned
cheers
