gato Posted July 22, 2009 Author 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. Thanks Angels 49, as I always say it isn´t so dificult as it seems, just try yourself. 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? Yes Phartycr0c, the colour is like this RAF TUCANO Thanks for watching See you on next post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gato Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 Hello, just some little work..... I added the flaps and ailerons to the wings and prepared them to start painting ......soon...... Then I started working on the main landing gear, first made of plastic But I realised it was going to be very weak, so after thinking a lot I decided to try with metal, in spanish called "laton" kind of bronze (think so) Of course no detail, that is going to be added of plastic I am going to use an old pair of wheels, because I don´t feel able to make them from scratch, I know they are not the same ones as in the real plane, but at least they are the correct size. Ok ok, I know, I have to paint them again...... Hope you like it!!!! See you soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Habu12 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Laton is brass my friend. Bronce would be bronze But either way, that's some brass work right there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gato Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 Thank you all guys, I really apreciate your words. I have to make a little pause on this project because I have to scratchbuild 2 models, and one of them is for december (not too much time for me!!!!) They are an embraer 111, and a EADS CASA-295 both of them from the Chilean Navy. I will try to continue some how with this one (it is for me) So, see you next post.
