faassen Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Hi There, I bought last week in Switzerland the Heller 1/72 Super Puma from the Limited Edition "Arwico Swiss line collection". But the colours puzzled me very much. So my questions: 1. Can a decent Swiss Airforce be build from this kit? Does it need any changes? 2. What are the exact camouflage colours of a Swiss Super Puma? 3. I recall Switzerland has also a few Cougars. What is the difference betwoeen a Super Puma and a Cougar? Any help is welcome! TIA. Regards, Dick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RotorheadTX Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Here's the Italeri call-outs for the Swiss scheme: hxxp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/RotorheadTX/Swiss.jpg Italeri lists their kit as an AS532 Cougar/Super Puma, so I think you have only details to worry about.

Regards, Dick Hello Dick, In fact they all started life as Super Pumas but were updated to Cougars late last century. You're safe either way :D The camouflage colours are: Undersides: RAL 7035 Light grey. Upper: RAL 7010 Tarpaulin grey / RAL 7013 Brown grey. Depending on what's in the box yo might want to check antenna fit etc. That can be pretty country specific. Hope this helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sebastijan Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 (edited) things to look out for are also the engine intakes and the main cargo doors, as there are different shapes of them, depending on the users wishes Here's a shot I took of Swiss Super Puma just after it dropped flares at Axalp 2009.
