An accessory cockpit set for a model of the Short Tucano T.1 trainer in 1:72 scale. It is not a kit of the aircraft but detailed cockpit equipment that replaces the simplified parts from the Airfix kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
This set from the Czech manufacturer CMK completes the pilot's compartment of a model of the Short Tucano T.1 trainer. It is intended for modelers who want the cockpit open, or at least well lit, and for whom the shape-simplified interior from the base kit is not enough. It is not a model of the aircraft: there is no fuselage and no flying surfaces in the package, and the set assumes that you already have the Airfix kit in 1:72 scale.
The Short Tucano T.1 was a basic trainer of the Royal Air Force. It derives from the Brazilian EMB-312 Tucano, but the British version went through extensive changes: it was given a different, more powerful turboprop powerplant, strengthened structure and revised cockpit equipment. The pupil and the instructor sit one behind the other under a long shared canopy, so the interior is unusually well visible on a finished model and working it out shows in the result at once.
First wash the parts in lukewarm water with a drop of dish soap, so that no residue from the mold is left on the surface and the paint holds. Separate the casting gates with a saw or a sharp knife, and never break them off. Sand the mating surfaces and keep dry-fitting until the fuselage halves join without pressure. Glue with super glue, which holds reliably on resin as well as on plastic. Spray the interior with a base color, bring out the raised shapes with a dark wash and go over the edges carefully with a dry brush. Paint in the instrument panels and the levers with a brush right at the end.
The set is an accessory for a kit, not a model in its own right. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
