REVELL 1/32 SA 330/WESTLAND PUMA HC.1

SA 330/Westland Puma HC.1: The return of a giant (Matchbox classic)

For collectors and connoisseurs, this is one of the most exciting re-releases of the year. The SA 330/Westland Puma HC.1 returns in an impressive 1/32 scale - based on the legendary "Original Matchbox" tools. This kit has not been available since 2012, making it a sought-after rarity. The demand for this historic model has increased enormously, particularly due to the recent retirement of the "Puma" from the Royal Air Force. This kit combines the nostalgic charm of classic shapes with modern standards such as completely revised, full-color building instructions.

History: 

The Aérospatiale SA 330 Puma (later also built by Westland) was the backbone of many air forces for decades. It was used as a tactical transporter for troops and material in crisis areas around the world. He completed countless flying hours with both the British RAF and the German Federal Border Guard (now the Federal Police). Its retirement marks the end of an era that you can keep in your collection with this model.

Features:

• Matchbox original: Experience the model building charm of the 80s. The molds (“tools”) originally come from Matchbox and are known for their robustness and surface structures.
• Imposing size: A superlative model is created on a scale of 1:32 with a fuselage length of 45 cm and a huge rotor diameter of 471 mm.
• German version buildable: The kit contains special components (e.g. radar nose, swimming bellows) in order to authentically represent the German version (Federal Police/BGS).
• Exclusive Marks: Two high-quality sticker sets allow you to choose between a classic RAF (Royal Air Force) machine and a German operational variant.
• Modernized Experience: Despite the historical shapes, the kit has been upgraded. The sprues are now kept in neutral gray (instead of the often colorful ones in the past), and the new instructions guide you safely through the construction in a modern color style.
