No date on when we can expect to see it, but it looks ready to market.

Looks pretty cool.

Good camo options and markings.

TheBrigade had a set of photos of Brazilian Tucano's. It's a really pretty aircraft I think.

I find the cockpit placement and canopy very interesting.

I'm wondering what the differences are between the Brazilian Tucano's and the ones sold the the US are; not that the US has better paint schemes for it.

EDIT; I did just notice it has individual prop blades on the kit; and their are only three. As far as I know Brazil runs a five blade prop.

Maybe there are 2 identical sprues and just used one for the photo shoot... or just a big mistake from HBoss...

I was thinking the same thing while at work. And the props are on an ordanace sprue.
