Pucara turboprops

I'm in need (well, 'want', really) of a couple of Pucara turboprop engines for a planned build.  I'd buy one, but the cheapest available is $22+, which seems a bit much just for two engines. 

Does anyone have a Pucara kit they'd sell me?  The only intact parts I'd need are the engines - even one will do, as I can use it as a master ... Personal use only - no sales, never fear!

Thanks.

Aeroclub used to do a complete Astazou engine conversion with vacuform nacelles and white metal nacelle fronts and prop. But M&E Models do an injection one too.

Kingkit have an M&E Models Jetstream T.1/T.2 conversion (Astazou engines and nose cone)

I've got one of those, it's basic but quite good shapewise.

Why don't they say how much it is???  :banghead:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

So why advertise it????  :unsure:
