Hi Everyone;

I am looking for info, on A Puma that I just picked up on ebay; And does anyone know of any AM set's available yet.
As of this date I have not been lucky finding any info, ! or Detail sets like Track's or A Metal Barrel !

If your talking about #03096 Schützenpanzer Puma, then the answer is no. I only saw some tow cables from MR Models. Biggest Problem is the fact that the Revell kit is a 2012 prototype. I currently rebuild this model to series standard and it requires a lot of references and scratchbuilding to make a decent model.
Another typical RoG dog.

Hi Hans;

Can you be more specific ! what are some of its Biggest problems. As you said its A early Mk; of the Puma, even tho its A Six road wheel version and Not the five road wheel version 1--- any Info; is very helpful !

Mike,
the basic shape and size is replicated good. Biggest rpoblem is the slat armor on the rear hull. RoG has the massive armor block replicated. Take into consideration that every block of the reactive armor on the hull sides has 12 "rivets" on it, makes 312 "rivets" to attach. Many of teh clumsy Revell details have to be refined. Before you decide to build the kit, I recommend Tankograds books on the subject.

Some brief tweaks list:
Adding details to:
- periscopes
- drivers and comanders hatch
- toolbox
- front stowage with ice cleats
- engine intake
- gun barrel brace
- passive armor blocks
- gunners and commanders sight
- all-round cameras
Scratch-build rear ramp window. Scratchbuild slat-aromr before the track skirts. Scratchbuild cartridge and belt link ports.
More or less a life-time task with proper references.

Ooohh.. forgot to add: scratchbuilding the anti-bomblet protection all over the hull and turret deck. Impossible to do...
