Hey Albatros,
Yeah, the Puma is a Brit engine built by Siddeley, used in the DH9, a handful of Bristol F.2B and a few others. Underpowered compared to the Rolls-Royce Falcon. Externally, the radiator is egg-shaped when viewed from the front. Smaller at the top, larger at the bottom. Exhaust stack goes up over the wing instead of out the sides and down. The fuselage bulges a little around the scarf mount. Other than that, same huge wings and classic de Havilland tail. But the coolest thing about this kit are the colorful schemes available. Love it!
