gato Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 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..... And the wing wheel weels ( just one at the moment) And finally some work on the fuselage That is all for the moment, hope you like it. See you.

chrismac60 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) 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! regards Chris Edited May 9, 2009 by chrismac60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gato Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) Phartycr0c, thanks for your words, its is not so dificult as you think, it is not a special, try your own. Of course start with a simple model, and donĀ“t give up in the way!!! chrismac60, really like your work, it looks beautifull, I will paint mine like this one http://www.airliners.net/photo/UK---Air/Sh...cano/1490441/M/ see you Edited May 9, 2009 by gato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gato Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 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 See you soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xffw45343tg Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Love the cling film technique - it's inspired. Does it always separate easily from the filler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gato Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 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.

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

Angels49 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phartycr0c Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 That is superb work. I look forward to seeing this finished. Have to say I do have a soft spot for the Tucano. You decided the colour scheme yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
