HobbyBoss 1/48 Brazilian EMB-314 Super Tucano (A-29 in USAF) COMPLETED

TimM63 · Oct 26, 2023

Getting started on this kit. It's been calling my name for a while now.
Kit comes with seatbelt PE and looks like a good kit.

TimM63 · Oct 26, 2023

Did a little work on cockpit.

TimM63 · Oct 28, 2023

I got the cockpit assembled. Still working on PE seatbelts.

I have this kit in the stash so I'm curious if the Hobby Beast has any fit issues in store for us on this one .
Every Hobby Boss kit I've built had at least one significant fit issue .

I will keep you updated.

It's a fairly new kit but so was their Su-34 and that kit was less than impressive .
The canopy didn't fit the fuselage .

TimM63 · Oct 30, 2023

I got the seats done and installed. Cockpit is finished and fuselage is together.
So far everything has fit together perfectly. No issues.

Since you mentioned the canopy I wanted to see how it fit.
It fits nice and tight.

Got the wings on and was able to get some paint on it.

That is looking nice.

TimM63 · Nov 2, 2023

A little more progress made.
One of the landing gear A frames broke and the piece is currently residing in the carpet monster. I may find it at some point and reattach it.

I have been there. There are pieces missing on several of my builds due to the carpet monster. Never found any of them. The model still looks like an excellent build. Very clean and a very nice camo paint job. I am sure you will come up with a solution for your broken a-frame landing gear. I will be interested to see how you fix it.

That's a nice looking aircraft. I've been wanting to get the Super Tucano. However…the Pucara is one bad ass aircraft as well. That one is definitely has been on my radar for quite some time.

Not bad for $50….

I saw the Super Tucano at an Airshow as a USAF A-29. I really like the Brazilian version.

TimM63 · Nov 5, 2023

I am finding that the Hobby Boss decals are very delicate and fragile. Have to use extreme care when applying.

TimM63 · Nov 5, 2023

I'm calling this build complete. Decals were delicate and some of them tore while adjusting position. I did my best to fix them.
I really enjoyed this kit. No fit issues at all. Very nice kit.

BlackSheepTwoOneFour · Nov 8, 2023

Bravo! I like it. Came out looking really nice!
