    as I´ve read the 314 has a longer fuselage, a more powerful engine with a 5-blade prop and different seats

    usually the FAP Tucanos have a light grey underside
    but because these planes were used mostly for night missions during the conflict, shortly after the beginning of the war the undersides were painted black

    advantage of the AK Real Color paints...they dry real fast, so camo already finished with FS34079 and FS34102
    masked with UHU patafix sausages and Tamiya masking tape

    Looking great Reinhard @grimreaper. Good use of that sponge like material as paint protector. I wonder if HB provided the correct fuselage length for the 312? Any chance you can measure the length minus the spinner and I will compare to my own 314?

    without the spinner it´s 19,7 cm
    measurements are mentioned on the box, length is 20,7 cm, Super Tucano is 23,8 cm
