Information

This 1:72 scale Westland Puma HC-1 die-cast model features a unique livery that will stand out on your collector's shelf! The NATO Tiger Meet livery from RIAT 2005 is roar-some, first displayed at the legendary Tiger Meet at RIAT 20 years ago!

The stripy design is complemented with high-quality detailing, as well as crew figures and sliding doors. A stand is included in the box.

This die-cast model is a limited edition of 936.

This versatile medium lift helicopter can trace its origins back to an innovative collaboration between the aviation industries of Britain and France in an attempt to produce a series of three different types for service in both countries, with the other two being the Gazelle and Lynx. Entering Royal Air Force service with No.33 Squadron in 1971, the Westland Puma HC.1 proved to be an exceptional machine, possessing both impressive speed and agility, and was capable of carrying 16 passengers, 12 fully equipped troops, or 2 tonnes of cargo, either carried internally, as an underslung load, or via a combination of the two.

An incredibly versatile and reliable helicopter, the latest variant of this magnificent aircraft remains in service with the RAF today, some 54 years since those first machines arrived at RAF Odiham. Throughout that time, surely no RAF Puma has ever looked as spectacular as XW231 did when No.230 Squadron prepared her for an appearance at the 2005 NATO Tiger Meet event, at Balikesir Air Force Base in Turkey. Resplendent in her new tiger livery, it will come as no surprise to learn that this aircraft came away with the Silver Tiger Trophy award at that prestigious event, later becoming one of the stars of the show at that summer#s Royal International Air Tattoo.

If you want to make your Puma into an irresistible crowd pleaser, just make it look like a Tiger!
