JHM,
Not sure if this helps much but there is a pic on Airliners that when you show the large version you can see one tag in english and another that appears in spanish which appears to say Retirar Astes Del Vuelo

RETIRAR ANTES DEL VUELO

After that stratospheric paint job, will you put the tags in different languages? Do you want us to leave modelling?

Barry, I hadn't forgot about this one but I had forgotten just how kick donkey it looks!

Shame on me!

Thanks, everyone. Special thanks to philp and ysi_maniac. I've printed off the tags and can't wait to use them on the finished model!

You're welcome and we can't wait to see the final product.

Just one more model to make it that much harder to pick the Whiffies.

I hate you in much the same way as I hate Brad Pitt and Tommy Lee

So, do we get to see pics of the finished model?

This is a brilliant design, a big improvement over the original Pucara fuselage. When are they going to start manufacturing this thing???

Well, I tried out the new diorama earlier today (had the day off work!) and the first test-shots, frankly, didn't cut it. I've realized that I really need to use fine grain foliage and ballast for 1:48 scale. The stuff I've used tends to look toy-like, not very realistic in the photos at all. For the months of work that went into it, the final result is a little bit of a downer. I've built a very capable backdrop and am using the best background photo I've ever found but the models in the foreground look more like models than ever before. It may also have been caused by the extremely bright mid-day sunlight (keep in mind it's a winter wonderland out here and that snow sort of whites everything out). I will try again on an overcast day for softer light but it's supposed to snow again tomorrow.

It's all coming. Along with two other finished subjects and so is the Top Secret Project^TM and I've once again dug out the parts and destruction-instructions for a certain ugly helo...
