It's as if it comes out of a dream into waking! The camouflage is so realistic! Another direct hit for you!

Thank you everyone for your encouragements. It was a surprisingly fast and easy build. I think my previous building experience with wheeled vehicles such as the TPZ-1 and the current GTK Boxer helped. I recommend to future builders of the Puma to keep it simple and focus on making the primary design work. The shape of this vehicle, it’s cost and the lack of parts does not make this vehicle a good base for customization or risky questionable mods.

11/10, you've done it again Louis. The scale greenery in the garden really adds to the verisimilitude; it looks like the real deal.

What a nice model. I would like one, but when I speak about this model, everybody say, that you need to change a lot of parts to be operationnal...
Sorry for my spelling mistakes, I try to do better every day...
