Revell and Matchbox SA 330 Puma in 1:32

I'd been under the impression that it was the Matchbox kit, but I'd have to see one in the plastic to be sure. The Matchbox kit wasn't really too shabby, it should certainly be possible to make a very nice Puma with one.

Apparently they are different. An article in the December 2006 issue of IPMS/USA's Journal described a build of an RAF Puma and the author, Milt Poulos, stated that he bought the Revell of Germany kit to get needed additional parts. He said the molding on the original Matchbox release was better than the Revell and the Matchbox details were better and crisper. However there are problems with the Matchbox kit as well. HTH.

As far as I know the answer to your question is yes, however Revell may have attempted to soften the over heavy panel lines of the original therefore altering the finished product.

I know that normally Matchbox is heavy on the panel lines, but this kit is not, actually it's very fine panellines and the fuselage and tail is very thin, almost like VAC form parts, but with nice details. Even if there's some ejectorpin marks several places inside

I know, as I have one on the desk, actually I think it may be their best in

Thanks, this is exactly what I wanted to know. I think I'll proceed with the Matchbox.

i don't know if it's in england. i'm in the u.s.
