didn't start with the cockpit in this one, but with removing the tail rudder

didn't start with the cockpit in this one, some things need to change a lot there, so started adding basic PE. A lot more can be added before joining the fuselage halves
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/2/4/1/283241-11032-52-720.jpg)
some PE on the other side too... still not even halfway...
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/2/4/2/283242-11032-43-720.jpg)
started with the sidewalls too, need to make some recesses there between the PE and the bathtub...

preparation of cockpit, Ecuadorian Tucano's have 3 MFD's instead of 2, for ease of construction I made a hybrid between the AVM upgrade and original parts

for the back instrument panel, I did something similar...

nice, i've once build a Tucano 1/72 scale from Airfix, i took a H**L lot of noseweight to stand, the prop of the RAF version was a chalenge on it's own

it seems that approximately 26g of noseweight will be necessary, but also found more... luckily there's some option to add a lot of it in the nose...

My build of the Hobby Boss Super Tucano. It's a nice kit, with some obvious shortcomings and faults. Some I will try to correct, others... I won't
This will be a slow build, mostly between current projects
