IA-58 Pucara
This is the 1/48 scale Kinetic IA-58 Pucara in Uruguayan scheme. The fit is good with zero issues. Lots of fiddly tiny parts one should be extremely mindful of - especially when working with PE static dischargers on wingtips.

Re: IA-58 Pucara
Turned out great Tom. Such a cool aircraft - looks great in that scheme. I'm doing mine in those funky Venezuelan colors.
EDIT: whoops, Argentinian colors

Re: IA-58 Pucara
I’ve got a Viper kit I’m doing in Venezuelan scheme…. whenever I get to building it. 
After the Rufe is done, I’ll be resuming on a couple car kits I’ve put off since fall of 2023.

Re: IA-58 Pucara
Looks great, Tom. It may be close in overall dimensions but I'll bet the A-10 outweighs it by a good margin.

Re: IA-58 Pucara
Good looking build Tom. I gotta get me one of those
Re: IA-58 Pucara
Well done, Tom. Good looking a/c.
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: IA-58 Pucara
That's an awesome build. I like that the canopy hides next to nothing. It's all on show there!
Cheers,

Great looking build Tom! 
That sure is one mean looking turboprop! 
Some aspects remind me of the OV-10, and others of the Hs-129…

Re: IA-58 Pucara
Yup. Skinny, lightweight, but not quite as long as the A-10. Height wise, maybe.

Re: IA-58 Pucara
The most unique looking engines. That's what drew me to this kit. Your engines look great Tom - nailed it.
Thanks,
