RAF Tucano 1/32


Recommended Posts

Hello friends, I have been very busy in my job and house, so unfortunately I have not too much time for my project.

Well just some little progress I want to share with all of you.

Thanks for all the comments, and for looking.

Lets go to the pictures

First the back part of the canopy, the detonation cord. Here I had to stop using the plastic rod because there was too many curves, so some wire was usefull

Here is the nose wheel well inserted into the fuselage, it is just a box because I coludnĀ“t find any pictures.....

Great work, here's my 48 scale model I made a few years back. While the black scheme is great, a review in a recent magazine here in the UK had a super detailed 1/72 aircraft in the old training colours of red / white / grey and boy did it look fantastic!

Hello everybody!! a little update of my work, not much, but making some progress.

Well the pictures....

First of all, I had to cut the fuselage and the wings for placing them in the correct place. Yes it was a little bit scary!!

Here you can also see the wheel weels inserted into the wings

And the results

Here the turbine exhaust, made in 2 parts so I can separate it and vacuforme it, and some air intakes, same as the one near the nose that you can see some pictures above

I hope you like it

Love the cling film technique - it's inspired. Does it always separate easily from the filler?

Hi Kirk, yes, it always separates easily from the filler. Just check that in the place you are going to put the filler, the film is stretch.

Glad to help.

Hi Agustin,

I have just stumbled across this thread of yours - excellent scratch building there my friend (I use very similar building techniques when I scratch build my own aircraft/master patterns myself). I find the hardest part is actually thinking about how to tackle any given problem! Thank you for sharing your build with us.

Best regards

Derek

Derek, thanks for your comments, I appreciate them, specially after looking at your work, I think I have seen all your topics here and also in LSP forums, I really enjoy them.

Now you can understand why you find your buiding techniques similar to mine.......... I have learn from your work :smartass:

I wish I could achieve just a little percent of your skills

Maybe I could ask you "how to do" some things during my building??

Regards

Gato This is one amazing build!! Your work and skill are truly inspiring. Is this your first scratchbuild?? May I ask what inspired you to choose a Tucano??

I really cant wait to see this all put together.

Cheers

Mike

Hi Mike, thanks for looking and for your words.

This is not my first scratchbuilt model, but yes I could tell you is the first serious one.

I choose the Tucano just because I love the design and also because I really like the paint scheme used by Linton-on-Ouse.

Thanks again for looking and any suggestions are welcome.

Well, I just stumbled across this thread & there's only one thing I can think of to say - Brilliant work!! :speak_cool:

I'm looking forward to seeing this one progress!!

Keef

Keef, same as Mike thanks a lot for your words.

See you next post

Cheers

Simply wizard ol' man, you are now in the upper echelon of modeling, a level to which many aspire, but few ever achieve. Keep up the marvelous work. I will be following this one with interest.
