AliGauld Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 A 1990 kit in a 2012 boxing and it was a bit of a battle. I managed to lose the air-brake part but as I was building it closed I just filled the space. The fuselage was significantly warped and the wings were squint. Filler and clamps were used. In saying that It was still fun. Decals from Xtradecal X72216 Royal Air Force Update 2013-14. I had used stuff from this set for my 617 GR4 and thought I might as well use them on this as it was an interesting scheme. Primed with Tamiya Neutral Grey. Painted with Tamiya Light Grey, Nato Black, Nato Green, Rubber Black, Flat Yellow, Italian Red and Flat White Mr. Color Gloss Black ColourCoats Light Aircraft Grey. Finished with Mr. Color Super Clear III Gloss. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that have been Leeming, I spent a very enjoyable Summer Camp there when I was in the Cadets. Cheers, Alistair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-32 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Always loved that scheme, remember seeing it at Duxford in 2014 - great build Tucano display aircraft by tony_inkster, on Flickr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Very colorful markings. The Tucano always reminds me of an RC flying model, with those large horizontal stabilizers and wide track landing gear. Nice tribute , model, Alistair. 👍 Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
