"a funny little detail "... a good idea! Do you know if it is done with spring steel?

Ah, it was spring steel that you cleverly repurposed. Thank you for the good idea.

Greetz Met,

The Puma is coming along very nicely. You've added some very interesting detail bits to the build. I can't quite make out the name of the manufacturer of the Jerrycan PE straps you've so deftly applied. Mind passing that information along? :thumbup:

Ciao,

Ralph

hi, the straps are Xion.

Two photoetched sheets are given for each Puma.

The previous owner had made a mess and only two jerrycan were mounted. I managed to get Xion to give me only one sheet of etchings, they don't seem to be selling them as a spare. And that's a real shame.

Regards

Thanks Met,

You were fortunate to have Xion agree to send at least the one set. They're looking good. Will continue following along.

Ciao
