dragan_mig31 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) Hello to all of you good people. I present you my finished Pucara in 72 scale. The kit itself is really bad and requires a lot of work to be finished to a satisfactory level. I upgraded the seats a bit and left the rest as is.The paints used are gunze and Tamiya. The decals are OOB and were a real pain to apply. Really thick and did not respond to the usual chemical threatment.I also made a YouTube video build and if you like you can watch me how I build it form start to finish. Regards,Dragan https://youtu.be/cMoB44z5ENY Edited January 24, 2021 by dragan_mig31 Reformating the post 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vultures1 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 That's a really great result, especially given the poor quality of the kit you started with. The seats make a big difference and the finish looks great - well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev67 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Very tasty build, I believe this was the Special Hobby kit originally which had resin parts as well, which the Airfix kit did not have. With all the problems you had, it turned out brilliantly though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Considering the starting point you've done a marvellous job. Great panel lining and weathering. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cariado Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Great work! I too seem to remember that it was originally a Special Hobby kit. In an ideal world, Airfix would release a new tool kit of this aircraft. It was quite significant in recent history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
