Very well done. :wub: With the primer coat on, it's looks like it could have some naval applications as well. Looks outstanding! B)

Yowsa Baz looks like you're in the process of pulling off yet another stunner! That T-tail is such a natural fit for this bird! Did you know that it's a proven fact that T-tails add to the coolness factor of any aircraft by 1000%?

TUCARA! :wub:

This just made me think, perhaps i should buy the Airfix Pucara, and do some updates making it a Super Pucara :wub: I was thinking glass cockpit, new engine (from Heller CL-415?), new props (something similar to Fokker 50, but smaller, perhaps from an Embraer Super Tucano?)

I really like the different colors of metal you used Mr Howling Mouse! That touch adds a lot to this beautiful model.

Once again, Mr. JHM shows his mastery of whiffing.

Good job Baz.

We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.
