SPA Modeler

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.








Size comparison to the Revell 1/48 scale A-10 Warthog..

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

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.

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

Good looking build Tom. I gotta get me one of those

Well done, Tom. Good looking a/c.

That's an awesome build. I like that the canopy hides next to nothing. It's all on show there!

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…

Yup. Skinny, lightweight, but not quite as long as the A-10. Height wise, maybe.

The most unique looking engines. That's what drew me to this kit. Your engines look great Tom - nailed it.
