FMA IA-58 PUCARÁ
The IA-58 Pucará (in Quechua, "fortress") is a turbo-prop ground attack aircraft built in Argentina by the former Military Aircraft Factory (now the Argentine Aircraft Factory) in the 1960s to fight the guerrillas.
He fought in the Falklands War, being used by the Argentine Air Force for aerial support missions close to land forces and attack of British camps and helicopters. It was also used in counter-insurgent combat by the Colombian Air Force and by the Air Force of Sri Lanka.
The name Pucará is related to the large amount of weapons that can be loaded -among the indigenous strongholds of northern Argentina, so it is an appropriate name for this plane-, between machine guns, guns, the three fixings for external armament (2 × in the wings and 1 × under the fuselage), air-to-ground missiles, napalm bombs, ventral tanks, and so on.
Thanks to @MasterLobster for the landing gear and others problems solved.
Disfrute!
