I transformed Alley Cat kit (Shorts Tucano T.1, scale 1/48) to FAV AT-27 Tucano EMB-312 (camouflage color, serial # 2460). It took a lot re-paneling and some scratch modification was needed, to represents the EMB-312 version. I have to say Alley Cat model is an excellent kit. Paint used is acrylic from Model Master and all decals are home made.
