2005 Westland Puma HC.1 Tiger Meet – Corgi 1:72: Scale, Subject & Display Guide

2005 Westland Puma HC.1 Tiger Meet – Corgi 1:72 is the specific scale model helicopters represented by this listing from Corgi. This guide interprets the exact record—its title, SKU, photographed item, variant state and catalog context—rather than stretching a generic category article over the product.

Product identity without guesswork

• Exact product: 2005 Westland Puma HC.1 Tiger Meet – Corgi 1:72
• Brand or vendor: Corgi
• Product type: Scale Model Helicopters
• SKU or catalog key: F977-AA27006
• Scale stated in the record: 1:72
• Year appearing in the identity: 2005
• Variants reviewed: 1
• Product images indexed: 1

The recorded price at verification was $130.05 before shipping and tax. At least one variant was orderable when the record was checked.

The scale marker 1:72 is part of the exact identity and should be matched before purchase. The year 2005 belongs to the listing identity; it should not automatically be treated as the manufacturing date of the item. The working catalog key is F977-AA27006. That key should travel with the saved URL and product image so a later comparison does not collapse this item into another scale model helicopters listing.

Evidence taken from the live record

The source description says: “Westland Puma HC.1 helicopter of No. 230 Squadron in NATO Tiger Meet RIAT livery from 2005, Royal Air Force, by Corgi The Aviation Archive. This 1:72 scale diecast helicopter is intended for collector display. Review the listing photos for the exact RAF Tiger Meet markings, configuration and packaging. Item: AA27006.” This is useful evidence, but it is not expanded beyond what the listing supports. Missing dimensions, materials, compatibility claims or package contents remain open questions.

Planning around the exact item

Collectors should read 2005 Westland Puma HC.1 Tiger Meet – Corgi 1:72 as a combination of casting, finish, release details and presentation. The useful comparison is not “same brand” but “same exact configuration.” Check the images for tampo placement, paint edges, wheel style, glass, base, stance and any included packaging before using another listing as a reference.

The SKU F977-AA27006 is especially important when the title contains a real-car year or model name. That year can describe the subject rather than the miniature’s release date, and two editions can share the same subject while differing in graphics, color or production series.

Where similar listings differ

When comparing another example, line up the images in the same order and inspect one feature at a time: front view, side graphics, rear treatment, wheel pattern, roof or hood markings, base text and package. A difference in any of those areas can indicate a variation rather than an error.

For display, choose storage that supports the item without pressing on mirrors, spoilers, blister edges or axles. For a build, dry-fit wheels and moving parts before paint or permanent adhesive. The product format determines which of those checks applies.

The photographed item is part of the specification

The gallery contains 1 indexed product image. Compare label text, package shape, visible contents, finish and any small identifying marks with the delivered item. A context image can show tools or related products that are not included, so the written record and selected option still control package contents.

Before committing the item to a project

• Use the complete name, not a shortened marketplace label.
• Use F977-AA27006 to prevent a near-match substitution.
• Read the variant and inventory state shown now.
• Confirm technical requirements from the current manufacturer source.
• Keep the receipt and one reference image with the product record.

Preserving the identity trail

Catalog the item under the complete title and F977-AA27006, then add the date received and the condition actually observed. For a project item, note where it was installed or how it was used. For a collectible, note package and display condition separately.

Retaining the exact identifiers protects the record when product titles or availability later change.

Gift considerations

Gift buyers should match F977-AA27006 to a known collection, project or preference. If size, scale, interface or exact version is uncertain, preserve the receipt and avoid opening fit-sensitive packaging.

What buyers commonly need to confirm

Can a similar title be treated as the same release?

Not without matching F977-AA27006 and the images. Similar subjects can differ by scale, finish, road number, quantity, interface or packaging.

Does the article guarantee every specification?

No. It distinguishes confirmed listing facts from checks that still need current source documentation.

What should be saved after purchase?

Keep the receipt, exact URL, SKU, selected option and at least one arrival photograph.

Bottom line: 2005 Westland Puma HC.1 Tiger Meet – Corgi 1:72 is a specific scale model helicopters, not a stand-in for the whole category. Match F977-AA27006, review the images, resolve unconfirmed fit or compatibility points, and retain the product record after purchase.

Decision record for future reference

The final purchase record for 2005 Westland Puma HC.1 Tiger Meet – Corgi 1:72 should contain the vendor Corgi, product type Scale Model Helicopters, SKU F977-AA27006, selected option, current price and the image used to verify the item. This set of evidence is more durable than a title alone and makes a later duplicate or replacement check much faster.

After arrival, compare the item with that evidence before discarding packaging or beginning work. Note any discrepancy, then record actual fit, condition or performance only after direct inspection. The resulting trail explains both the original offer and the owner’s later experience while keeping the article accurate, specific and reviewable.
