RCAF Goldilocks Tucano-March 3 update

Captain Canada · February 07, 2013, 08:24:10 PM

Everybody knows the Tucano is cooler ( and more aeroplane ) than a Texan/Harvard II. And trainers should be yellow, not red, black, or blue....

Started adding the blue paint today to see what she'd look like....and I like it ! Shame my favourite pot of yellow ran out tho....now to face my biggest problem : where the heck did I put the Leading Edge Goldilocks Harvard decal sheet !

The other way round, kinda....all yellow with blue nose and wingtips

Darn! I should do a two seat F-16 in blue fuselage and yellow wings. Suppose its been done before but not by me.

This one will have the same paint as a real RCAF Goldilock.

But yes, blue and yellow trainers do look good !

Found the decals ! Also put a coat of flat yellow on her so I can do the gloss tomorrow and hopefully wrap another up....

Haha...I was actually thinking that. Any small Air Force would should have fully armed trainers, no ? Maybe a winder and a 250lb. LGB on each side, along with a CRV-7 and maybe a small fuel tank ? Maybe a centreline gun pod ? We'll see. Prob start straight up, take some pics, then add the weapons and redo.

Was the photograph taken after repair (good!) or before damage ( $:-\$ )

Captain Canada · March 03, 2013, 07:36:05 PM

After....she sat upside down for a few days after I glued them back on....

Cats will do that to you. They just have to see what you are so intent on. Looking good!
