Kinetic Gold IA 58 Pucara
I've waited long enough to get this kit and start building it.

Re: Kinetic Gold IA 58 Pucara
Nice! Very nice. I almost bought one at the Indy show. A great looking aircraft. You willl knock it outof the park!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: Kinetic Gold IA 58 Pucara
Looking forward to this Tom, it's a great looking aircraft.
And just remember, if the build goes wrong you can always turn it into a dio of one visited by the SAS on Pebble Island.

All right Tom! I have this one in the stash so I'll be following along. The engines are so interesting looking on this plane.
Thanks,
John

You know... when your comment on the SAS, I didn't get the joke
Now I sorta do...

Sorry, Tom, During the Falklands war, before the landings at San Carlos, the SAS carried out a raid on the Argie airfield on Pebble Island and destroyed most of their ground attack aircraft on the ground.BlackSheep214 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 15, 2024 1:19 pm You know... when your comment on the SAS, I didn't get the joke

Re: Kinetic Gold IA 58 Pucara
Yes, the Pebble Island SAS Raid was reported to be something like their actions in North Africa in WWII, when they would raid Rommel’s airfields way behind the battle area.

Re: Kinetic Gold IA 58 Pucara
Some progress made these past few days...
Bang seats has 6 PE seat straps. The first 2 installed...
The next two glued ahead of time. They go in between the 2 main straps on the seats
Finally, they are done. The last 2 are on upper padding right and left side
Opened holes for fuselage vents...
Aside from the seats, the office tub, propellers, rear instrument panel cowl are ready for paint...
