>>10775572>>10775591anon is right, it is the romanian 'air fox' IAR-317. I know here are no kits available, and i have more than half a mind taking example from polanon
>>10761827and making a high quality model of the 317 and, incidentally, of the 316 Alouette. I don't believe there are high quality 1:72 models available, since i have the heller and i can testify that it's dogshit, and the kp sprues look like they have been injected into a playdoh mold. It would be nice to have exposable internals, but at 1:72 meeh, not sure it's worth the trouble. Not certain about 48 or 32/35 scale though.

>>10775591>license built PumaThat is the Socat, still in service, but only avionics, flir and cannon upgrade, no major airframe work going on. There actually was an obscure study to turn the Puma into a dedicated attack helicopter, ditching the passenger capability, but it never wrnt beyond feasibility studies. Pic related, iar-318.
