The model faithfully reproduces the advanced design of the vehicle, which underwent rigorous tests in the hot desert climate of the United Arab Emirates in 2013. Thanks to these tests, the Puma was adapted for service in extreme conditions, confirming its reliability during field exercises and military operations. The history of this Puma variant is closely linked to the Bundeswehr’s latest modernization efforts, aiming to replace aging Marder IFVs and gain an advantage on the modern battlefield.

The kit includes components for assembling a detailed interior and a complex turret system with a 30mm MK 30-2/ABM automatic cannon. The manufacturer has recreated the modern AMAP composite armor, MUSS active protection system, and all the unique details of the UAE-tested variant, including hull features and air conditioning. This unique “hot climate” Puma variant allows the creation of a highly realistic model, especially attractive for modellers interested in contemporary armored technology.
