  1. Another outstanding build, Rafi Ben-Shahar (@blackmopane). You weathered it just right. Kinetic's Pucara is one heck of a terrific kit isn't it?

  2. Fine looking build, Rafi

  3. Well done, Rafi (@blackmopane). The colors and finish are perfect. I did my Master's Thesis on the Falkland War, so I have a soft spot for the Pucara.

  4. Thank you George.

  5. Amazing result as always, Rafi!

  6. Yeah. that is definitely Kinetic's best kit. I loved doing mine. You've definitely made the most out of what was in the box.

    This is a very nice job on this model Rafi.
    The paint work is outstanding and so well applied and the subtle weathering give it a sharp overall look πŸ‘€.
    This makes me wonder, why are mine still unopened … πŸ˜„.

  8. Lovely build. Weathering, paint scheme, assembly, choice of subject...

  9. I built the Aconcagua resin kit-this appears to be superior, as does your workmanship.
    Beautiful!

    If I was to start with Kinetic then the Fouga Magister would be my choice.
