Some more build pics for fun:

Scratchbuilt landing gear/wheel-well doors










Landing gear itself




Remove Before Flight Tags (In Spanish)


Bombload (yeah, I handpainted the yellow circles without using masks and it shows but it was fun)

You sir, suck!     Awesome work Barry, I really love this build, every little tiny morsel you tease us with is extasy and agony!

[John Howling Mouse]

Thank you my friends for your continued patience with this one.  I purchased the two airport backgrounds you see here from the very talented Italian aviation photographer, David Cenciotti and incorporated them into my photo-backdrop/tarmac base.  I hope you enjoy this finished product as much as I've enjoyed bringing it to you, step by step.  Sorry for the image-intense upload but I aim to please...





































And the best for last, image A10crop:

Nice to see this one finished.  Turned out great.  Well worth the wait.

STUNNING.

Quite simply one of the most amazing and inspiring pieces of modeling that i have been privileged to see.  EVER.

Great work, Baz ! Looks like that baby is ready to fight. Good thing you weren't working for them in the 80's !

Even with the law of averages you should be required to build something that is "only" awesome. But no, you have to consistently build stuff that's supercolossal!!!        

Most of those pics are very convincing, you have indeed created a work of art here (build and photo wise).

Please, please move this to the "Plane Spotting" chapter of this forum (the photographs above are absolutely proving this Tucara is 101% Real World and not at all a dreamer's "what-if model" - if there was a trial, such evidence would win, I swear, Mickey Mouse bless us...)

Its unique Baz . .  are those gunports in the wingroots?
