Well thanks jose! Actually my last 3 or 4 models are Argentina´s navy and air force planes. now I´m building an Ju w-34 from Armanda de la Republica Argentina. and in the pile wait for me, a 1/48 F4-U Corsair (armada too), A dassault Super Etendard 1/72 academy, and one A-4 skyhawk in 1/48 (fuerza aerea).

i´m looking foward to build a 1/48 pampa I hope order one soon (i heard the resink kit need TOO MUCH work to produce a fine model).

here is one pic from my pucara, and an F-86 sabre from Fuerza Aerea Argentina acrobatic team "Cruz del Sur" Saludos

IA-33 Pulqui II done (pics from my first resin kit)

Hi guys! I just finish my first resin kit: an argentinian plane from the early 50´s IA-33 Pulqui II (Pulqui is an indian word for arrow) the plane was designed by Dr Kurt Tank (the same guy who design the FW 190 and others great planes...)  and an Argentina´s Instituto Aerotecnico designers team, Argentina was the 8th country in the world to desingn a jet plane. the similar look to the mig 15 is because the same people who work with Tank in Germany after the war helped to the design that plane, in fact they share the same engine, a Roll Royce Nene II. The test show the Pulqui as a plane with exellent performances (in some points superior to the F-86 and the Mig 15) sadly due to political and economic reasons the plane never enter to production.

the kit is in 1/72 scale, is made by Ricardo dacoba.

I build the kit with a lot, and I mean a LOT of work, adding more detail with cooper wire, styrene, P.E. parts, and anothers things. ( I will write an article for ARC soon)

any critics will be wellcome, regards

Jeremias
