Heller 1/72 Super Puma Swiss Air Force


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.
