I'd like to build that!


I bet Tophe wishes he'd drawn it, and now he probably will too.   ;D ;)

The last paragraph of that scares the willies out of me, when you realise how little Joe Public understood radiation & nuclear warfare! :o

Love that one, Nils! :wub: :thumbsup:

Just think how many of the little buggers you could fit on a, say, Essex-sized carrier! :o ;D

Seems only natural to put a rat on a ship.... ;)

Almost looks like the old RAN Skyhawk camo scheme! ;)

Well - Oz and Arg are in similar latitudes, no?  Plus, IIRC, the Argentines used to have a number of A-4s ...

The prototype's former scheme in FS 34102, 34227 and 30219 was nice, too - even though the engines in green primer look disturbing.

Oh, I dunno? Adds a bit more to the camo.  ;D ;)

Maybe the engines were produced in the same factory that made Soviet aircraft wheels?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Wow, they keep trying with the Pucara, don't they?

While I'm sure new engines are a good idea (Astazous are as old as I am), I suspect that what limits sales of the Pucara are a lack of pylons, and a lack of sophisticated sensors and defensive aids.

Anyone know if this going to lead to new builds or is it just refitting the survivors? Think we need to find a member who speaks Spanish!
