blackbetty Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) work on the pit is slow and exhausting. everything has to be constructed using photos and guesswork. most of the drawings i have are also guesswork Edited March 19, 2021 by blackbetty KiwiZac, LSP_Kevin, Dandiego and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 i was working on the main IP, printed some dials on paper, sandwiched some clear sheet inbetween it and the black vinyl cut with the plotter front and rear are pretty similar themongoose, chukw, dutik and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpjack Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Have you seen that Kinetic has recently issued a 1/48 kit of the Pucara with what may be some useful reference graphics appearing on the web? EG, some renditions including cockpit here #https://www.besserepreise.com/modellbau/kinetic/kinetic-maßstab-1:48/kinetic-k48078---ia-58-pucara-in-1:48.htm Les blackbetty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) i`m slow, i know there are reasons though, i am reseraching as i go and have lots of problems to solve. take the seats for instance. purchased resin MB Mk 6 from Harold, these are really nice, i thought these should be the same as in the argentinian Mirages... looking at pics of the pit i tried to ignore that they looked completly different. i started to investigate and found out: these are Mk 6, but of the APO-6A subtype. very hard to find pics of them on the net, i was only able to find two that were of use. the main difference is the headrest, so i removed the upper part of the seat (see on the right) this is not easy trying not to destroy too much detail Edited March 26, 2021 by blackbetty Greg W, Starfighter and Landrotten Highlander 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 this box has all kinds of angles and sits at an angle, the lower part of the seat has longer sides scvrobeson, patricksparks, Starfighter and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
