Post by ronald alvarez »

Hello again friends, here I leave this work somewhat complicated by the modifications but not by the quality of the kit it is the embraer toucan 312, airplane entertainer of pilots in the air force of Venezuela, for it use the known kit of airfix in Scale 1/72 short toucan and after several and worked modifications I could transform it of the short version to the service of England to the long version Brazilian to the service of Venezuela the modifications were the following:

- Propelers changed from 4 to 3.
- Air outlet grills.
- Cut to the ailerons of the model.
- Change the short bonnet to the length with putty.
- Change the exhaust pipes from the bottom of the bonnet to the top.
- Added armament of Toucan embraer.
- Top and bottom communication antennas
- Change of front landing gear.

I hope you like it.- Greetings ..................

That is a really excellent conversion Ronald and, in the same vein as your equally excellent Bronco, looks great on that nicely made display base. Top work 8-)
