Pariacaca Mk3 fuerza aérea de la Argentina, 1979

the first foray of Argentina into the maritime recon role, the Pariacaca ( An Inca God of water ) was a pedestrian affair with two piston engines , and a trail dragging undercart. She had a crew of 6 and only in the mk3 version was a radar added to the airframe.

Operated over the South Atlantic in the maritime recce role, search and rescue and transport role for over 20 years until she was taken out of service in 1980 so missing the falklands war and it's chance of glory

A/C 182

any guess on what she was originally ?

I don't really know the names of Japanese aircraft so my guess is probably wrong but I will suggest that its a Betty?

You also build kits at a prodigious rate which I wish I could do as it would quieten most of my relatives who complain at yet another kit being bought for the stash.

Wow - just catching up again....

All excellent stuff - I like the cammo on the F-15 and I like the dioramas in particular.
