Hi Guys
I was wondering, can Revell's 1/32 BGS Puma (kit number 4412 see below) be built into an RAF Puma as I asume that it has teh same parts as their RAF puma just with extra German bits. Also, does it come with RAF decals? Thanks, Nick

Nick, you have more chance of a (knowledgable) reply if you ask this question over at our brothers (and sisters.. ) at Aeroscale. I have moved it for you.

Cheers

Yes, it has all the parts to build a standard RAF AS 330 Puma and an extra sprue with the flotation gear for the BGS version. You will need to source British decals though. Good luck.

Sorry, no idea. I would check with various AM decal companies. My guess would be that British aircraft decals would work too. Good luck.

Nick,

If you go ahead and decide to build the Revell Puma in the current RAF version..... good luck. I've been building an Airfix 1:72 AS330 for ages now and there are so many mods needed its untrue. It doesn't help that the kit itself is of rather poor quality to start with!!
