One of the most successful Brazilian military aircraft has been the Embraer Tucano. It is a type that has seen wide use by military forces not only in South and Central America, but in other parts of the world as well. The RAF's Tucano is a modified version built by Shorts. This new Caracal Models sheet covers seven different schemes from three countries. The only readily available kit of this plane in this scale is by Hobby Boss. It has some issues that aficionados of the plane will be quick to point out, but builds into a very nice model.

So here is what is on the sheet:

EMB-312F Tucano 459/"312-JO", French Air Force, 2013 (with special tail art)

EMB-312F Tucano 487/"312-UF", French Air Force, 2008 (with special tail art)

EMB-312F Tucano 462/"312-JG", French Air Force, 2007

EMB-312 Tucano "4000", Venezuela Air Force, 2008

EMB-312 Tucano "1335", Venezuela Air Force, 2008

EMB-312 Tucano "15-2407", Iran Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force, 2009

EMB-312 Tucano "15-2415", Iran Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force, 2009

Full color painting and placement guide is included. The markings are printed by Cartograf with enough insignia and data markings to do one plane from each nation.
