Is that a resin conversion to "soviet" helo from Rambo? Amazing!

Thank you all! I just loved the look of that Puma in the movie so I had to build it.
@Adrian: Sadly there's no conversion set so I had to do it all on my own.

Hello Ice, I also became a great fan of this helicopter when I was young and now I am planing to build a 1:32 scale from revell and eventualy convert it to an electric RC flying kit.
