The Airfix 1/72 Pucara Takes Flight

Post by Sunray »

I have finally finished. This kit gave a few problems being fit issues on nearly everything but I have really enjoyed doing it as it gave me a chance to try a few new things. I am really pleased with the result and after reading references on the Pucara I can see why people loved it. Anyway here are the photo's and I am sorry there are a few. Before I forget thanks to everyone for their advice and support through the build which can be found at http://www.uamf.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=15300

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

I can hardly add to these comments......
It's a beautiful build. To my eye there is a menacing quality to it. I'd hate being on the ground with that overhead!

Very nice.

Call me evil :twisted: if you must, but I can't help but want to see a Sea Harrier lurking behind it with malice aforethought... :mrgreen:
