Scarlet Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 My 1/48 Hobbyboss EMB 312 Tucano has just arrived, bought because they advertised it as having an RAF option, only to find you can't build a Tucano T1 out of the box as they only include a 3 bladed prop spinner and not the 4 blade the T1 has, yet include 4 prop blades??!! There may be other details that are incorrect that I haven't spotted yet. Looks like a perfect oppertunity for the aftermarket brigade to produce a Tucano T1 update set - please.

Truro Model Builder Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 There are quite a few differences between the original EMBRAER Tucano and the version built by Shorts for the RAF. A totally different nose shape due to the change of engine, cockpit instrumentation altered to resemble that of the Hawk T.1, a stronger canopy with an arch, etc. Hobby Boss putting in decals for a Tucano T.1 was barmy and, unfortunately, probably means that they will not be considering a kit of Shorts Tucano any time.
