I saw this plane, for the first time, on a YouTube clip earlier this year....Love at first sight!!!
Absolutely had to have one...did a little research and placed my order....
Started with adding a bit of detail to the nose gear bay...just made it up, not a whole lot out there in the ref dept, for that area.
Glued in some lead...his kit seems like it would be ass heavy.
As is typical with SpecHobby, some parts are pretty clunky...scratched up som new control sticks...
The kit includes resin seats and a PE fret...not great, but not bad either!
The side walls had zero detail...again, just made this up...

Looks great Fermis!
I remember these Pucaras from the Falkland war, first time learned to know about them, cool planes..
Though not so good track record, at least from the Falkands...

I've been looking for that kit for some time. Just kept forgetting to find one. Nothing like a mean looking cool factor of a bird.

Looking good Fermis!
