I am revamping an old Heller Puma that is I think about 1/50th scale here it is so far. I have done a little extra detail here and there and just tried to fool the eye into believing there is more there.

Hi Doug,

Looks great indeed. Will you use aftermarket stuff or will it be 100% scratch?

Looking forward for the next step...

I am just using plastic bits, I dont think that there are any aftermarket parts for this kit as it is out of production and an odd scale. I will post more pictures soon.
