Airfix Pucara
Weaver:
Okay I've made a start on an Airfix Pucara, with the intention of doing it in stockish trim but with different markings (wait and see ;), as a relatively simple build given that my time's limited for various reasons. However it turns out that the Airfix Pucara is basically the Special Hobby one in a different box, and the standard is OLD Special Hobby, i.e. no locating pins and vague instructions, so it's going rather slowly at the moment. Not sure If I'll be able to finish it or not.
KiwiZac:
This was one of those kits I was super excited to buy and when I got it home was disappointed at the moulding quality (my skills weren't up to it back then). Good luck! I'm excited to follow along because, well, who doesn't love the Pucara?

Uh? instead of an Argentinian COIN fighting British-speaking insurgency in the Malvinas... will you dare to build a UK-bought Pucara fighting Spanish-speaking insurgency in the Falklands? (it seems UK is specialist to buy abroad what can be designed and produced at home) ;)

I bought the Airfix Falklands Commemorative Box when it came out (six kits in the box), mainly because I was interested in what the kits were as I wasn't aware they had released a kit of all the aircraft involved (it didn't have the Vulcan though --)
--- there's three in there which aren't Airfix originals ---
