Here are another group of useful sets from Whirlybits, this time to convert the 1/72 Airfix SA330 Puma into the "J" version used by the IAC in the early eighties. The first set is for the composite main rotor blades that will replace the kit blades. The next one is a small set for the winch. There is one picture on airliners.net that shows this winch fitted to P242 and at least one SAR mission (and probably a good few more) was flown off the west coast that employed the winch. The main conversion set adds all the fuselage details to complete the conversion to "J" standard.

Decals were available from Maxdecals but that sheet is discontinued. Hopefully the markings for Papa 242 will be released again on a revised sheet soon.
