Introducing The Latest Rfm (Ryefield Model) 1/35 Sd.kfz.234/2 Puma Kit

[@TheSaturnV]

And just for fun, Mini Art is releasing 2 brand new PUMAS, one with full interior and engine. Not to be left out, Dragon juuuust so happens to be re-releasing their Puma with some extra goodies in the box.

[@TheSaturnV]

I'm a little surprised they molded the storage box lids in the side bins shut as well as the side hull hatches.

[@michaeldean1289]

Great review thanks As a fan of RFM’s kits, this is definitely on my shopping list! I reckon that this is going to be a great build, even though I did love Dragon’s when it came out.

[@dongerber9791]

Looks like a nice kit and the $39.99 price is very appealing. The up-coming Miniart kit appears to have a more complete interior, but if you are going to build it buttoned up or with a crewman in the hatch, the completeness of the interior won’t matter much. If they release the SdKfz 234/1, /3, or /4 in the future, the interior detail will matter a lot more. The engine compartment is a nice addition, too. It will need fuel injection lines added and perhaps some wiring, although this diesel engine does not have ignition wires, I believe.

[@ianstewartbrown5308]

Why not include the weighted wheels in the kit, why make the modeller pay extra?

[@lyrooo326]

Oh wow I love the puma so much.

[@modelmantstewart1292]

I think the piece of wire is to make the bucket handle

[@fanta_k1982]

great now they have to make sdkfz.234/4, can't find it anywhere...

[@jimmclaughlin2728]

pre order for this is not on your eu website

[@daniellabra4186]

More than "out of the blue", it's because Miniart is realising its own Puma, but Miniart made a big fuzz about it, while RFM kept silent...

[@leonweber5244]

That turret looks rather empty, I have to do some research to see if its missing something Edit: the turret is indeed incomplete, miniart's versions does have proper turrer interior.

[@ThePolishJoker]

I Never Saw Puma In Action (Movies/Dokus) 🤔👀

[@danreed7889]

What was the wire for that was in its own bag?

[@AndysHobbyHeadquarters]

it was for the bucket

[@danreed7889]

@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters thanks! I've got one on preorder!

[@docshelley1969]

😂

[@DASCDUDE]

It does look like a great build and extreme value is true.

[@rcaso9561]

Great review Andy, thanks for sharing. I'm gonna get the Puma from you!

[@Yardbird68]

I already put in my pre-order for the kit and the wheels. LOVE the Puma! Thank you Andy.

[@Andy.Gledhill.Models.]

Not sure why you have only just heard about this kit? I have had one on pre-order here in the UK, for over 2 months now.

[@rickwongsing4746]

You're a pretty good salesman Andy! My wife and (or) I will have to get one of these! Just built the AK boxing of the Dragon one. Loved it but i gotta build this one. Looks like its gonna be another winner from RFM!!! Excited!

[@ashhillmodels3801]

When's the pre order starting on the european website?

[@modelman424]

No photo etch?

[@coling3957]

what is it with manufacturers releasing the exact same vehicles.. the 1/16 th scale market is full of Shermans and Tigers. and new 1/35th now have Pumas appearing at the same time.. i just bought the RFM Sherman used by General Abrams , which looks pretty neat. We need more DIVERSE kits though... Matilda ... Centurion ... etc

[@randomnickify]

They know what sells well. I would assume very few people outside UK would be interested in Matilda or Centurion.

[@goforitpainting]

Cool model. Thank you for this review. 👍

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Looks like a nice kit 👍👍

[@Emtbtoday]

Looks really nice shame the storage boxes on fenders weren't openable aswell that would have made a nice little extra detail on a dio hopefully it's hollow as easy enough to make a new hinge in fusion and print it now if wanted to cut them open!

[@donfrandsen7778]

Great vehicle Andy Thx another great video Bravo keep em coming? Any builds coming up?

[@karstenkeddy5319]

It be nice if companies would sell a version with all their upgrade sets included at a cheaper price then to buy all of them separately.

[@trappenweisseguy27]

The old Itlaieri kit was pretty good by my memory and likely available dirt cheap.

[@Jakubescu]

Great review again Andy, thank you. I woud like to see how to cut off these resin wheels without damaging the tyre structure.

[@markc7002]

Based on the instructions, the wheels don't appear to be steerable as suggested on the box?

[@andyconway5610]

Posable, not steerable

[@markc7002]

@@andyconway5610 Looks like they aren't posable either, only option in the instructions is straight

[@randomnickify]

It is sterable, there are clear "do not cement" icons on suspension hinges.

[@perrylamb6286]

On order. Will be my first armored car in about 40 years.

[@Snarfyy]

Will there be a full interior version coming in the future?

[@AdamWeber-pi1gs]

Ordered. Thanks, Andy!

[@allgood6760]

Nice!.. when I was a kid I built a trolley out of lawn mower wheels when I was a kid and I named it the Puma. The name came from this vehicle.👍🇳🇿

[@multipl3]

So the wheels cant be orientated? Pass

[@randomnickify]

They can, look again.

[@arthurkjr]

Very nice, how much!
