Description

The Tucano is a primary jet trainer in service with the Royal Air Force. It is a very attractive looking model that will attract more than the odd comment on the slope. The prototypes were decorated in the old flying training colour scheme rather than the later Black and yellow.

The Tucano has similar flying characteristics to the other PSS models in the range and could be used as an aileron trainer / 2nd aileron model.

Construction once again uses the same formula as the Aermacchi and the Aero L59 i.e. EPP base material with ply / spruce reinforcing where necessary. The kits includes a comprehensive linkage set and a moulded plastic spinner. Build time once again depends on the care take and the outer covering used.
