orlando Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hello! i've just finished my latest aerobatic project. The Premiere 1/72 EMB-312 Tucano, "Esquadrilha da Fumaça" aerobatic team. Simple kit, but with nice shapes. Several parts were made from scratch (the whole cockpit and the exhausts). Tons on lead in the engine section to avoid tail sitting.The base coat was done with Model Master white primer and painted with Humbrol 19 & Model Master Insignia White. A coat of Clear Gloss Varnish Humbrol was applied before decals and to finish the plane. The canopy was sanded to remove its middle frame and as a final touch, i have made the walking wings from sand paper. Orlando. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Way back (mumble) years ago during the 1908s, these used to visit the Abbotsford Airshow here, and I used to enjoy their display. Thank you for a lovely memory, and well done for doing such an excellent job with a less than excellent kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orlando Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 I am grateful for your comments.For me, it is a very special kit. When I was 20, I saw the aerobatic team fumaça here in Chile for the first time (1994) and since then I love the aerobatic teams. (Last year I traveled to England (11,600 klm) only to see the Red Arrows at Farnborough, so you can imagine how I love these teams, hehe)Orlando.
