This one was kindly donated to me a few months ago. A few compromises that included using an Airfix decal sheet (slightly wrong for the camouflage I used). The canopy was too yellowed to be used so I moulded a new one but otherwise, it was a fairly straightforward build.

Re: FMA Pucara; Rareplane Vacforms 1/72
That's a beauty. I built the Rareplanes one when it first came out. You did a cracking job on it.
All the best.

Top build Vacant, love it. The Pucara is a very cool looking aircraft.
I must have a go at a vacform sometime.

Nice one Vacant, that has turned out very well indeed. I can't say that I'm a major fan of the type but a good build is a good build!

As usual you turn a vacuform into a little gem of a model. Great modelling skill here.

Very nicely done. I just love the camo colors.
Re: FMA Pucara; Rareplane Vacforms 1/72
Excellent work. I love the camo scheme.
