        Steve Bamford will insert full sized version of photo 01.jpg here  

  This is my 1/72 scale Pulqui I made by Sur Models.

  The Pulqui was designed in Argentina in the mid ´40 by the French engineer Emile Dewoitine and the staff of the F.M.A at the province of Cordoba, this way Argentina became the 8th country in the world to develop a jet fighter. Nevertheless the plane had a short life, only one prototype was completed. Bad perfomance characteristics and the develop of the I.A. 33 Pulqui II lead to the termination of the Program.

  Today the plane rest in the Museo Nacional de Aeronautica, in Moron, Buenos Aires.

  The kit is a tipical short run resin kit, and by that I mean LOT of work, the parts were thik, brittle and bubbles everywere, only a seat and control panel fill the interior, so I scratch builded a little, I added internal structures, some wires rudder pedal and a better control stick.

  Once completed the interior I glue the fuselage halves, attched the wings and horizontal stabilizer, the next stepp involved filling and sanding, that was the worse part of the proyect, the more I sand more bubbles came to the surface, this was very frustrating task, so I remember a thing: my father once told me "modeling is about fun, when you want to crash a kit against a wall is time to slow things down" so I take is advice and learn to live with the damm bubbles jejeje.

  I replaced the kit´s landing gear, with a couple borrowed from another kit (a 109 I belive) because the kit parts were unusable

  I finish the model in a gloss red scheme, and the nationals insignias came from the spare decals box.

  In the picture you can see Pulqui I and Pulqui II next to each other.

  (you can see my article About the Pulqui II here in ARC)

  Happy modeling!!!
