Finally finished up my Puma after letting it sit on my desk for over a year. The build was great. Everything fit together perfect with little to no sanding, cutting to make it fit. Only changes I made from Stock was the addition of a Kevlar leader and elastic shock cords.

I then painted it close to the factory paint job using Krylon paints. I let it sit on the bench for over a year as I absolutely despise water slide decals. There are not words enough to describe my hatred for these things and the person that invented them... Anyway, I finally sucked it up and did them. I cut a tail number from vinyl as I felt it was missing something I don't care to put the Estes logo on my stuff.

Here is the finished product.

Really looks nice. Nice job on the paint. These little jewels are harder to build than people think.
