REVELL 1/144 MODEL SET WESTLAND PUMA HC.1

Model Set Westland Puma HC.1: Historical rotors for your collection

Many model builders are faced with the challenge that large helicopter models take up a lot of space in the display case or that finding exactly the right colors for historical camouflage patterns is laborious. With this set we solve both problems at once. The Westland Puma in a compact 1/144 scale fits into any collection and comes directly to your home as a "model set" with the necessary basic equipment. So you can get started straight away and concentrate fully on building this versatile transport helicopter without having to worry about missing accessories.

History: 

The Westland Puma HC.1 was the backbone of the Royal Air Force's (RAF) tactical transport fleet for decades. Based on the French Aérospatiale Puma, it was manufactured under license by Westland in the UK and adapted to the specific needs of the RAF. Its robustness and versatility made it legendary. Regardless of whether it was troop transport, evacuations or supply flights – the Puma was always there where there was a fire. Its missions in the Northern Ireland conflict and during the first Gulf War particularly shaped the public image of this helicopter. With this model you pay tribute to a piece of aviation history that recently began its well-deserved retirement.

Features:

• Return of a classic: This is the first release of our Puma in 1/144 since 2006 - a welcome addition for collectors.
• All inclusive: Basic paints, brushes and the appropriate glue are included in the set, which allows construction to start immediately.
• Historical selection: The kit contains decals for two historic RAF operational scenarios: the Gulf War and the Northern Ireland conflict.
• Compact precision: With a length of 102 mm and a rotor diameter of 104 mm, the model is space-saving, but still meets the requirements of Level 4.
• More current than ever: With the type being retired from the Royal Air Force, interest in this workhorse of the skies has increased again.
