Plenty of options here. I have a Pucara on its way to me, so that's an idea, but I also have a small pile of Sea Harriers, a Gazelle, a Chinook and others, so there's some options. :D

Merlin would castigate me for dropping the ball on the end date for this GB. With work and other distractions, I've not only dropped the ball, the damned thing has rolled off the bench and got lost in a parallel dimension! I've noticed a couple of recent starts (one from a new...

Ok, no Puma then.
So I decided for something different: A little vignette with Army equipment of both sides. Port Stanley was my choice, because there you could find some interesting equipment not present elsewhere due to the terrain restrictions. I know, that the decisive...

Brilliant. The thing I love about dioramas is you get to put so much imagination into them as you have here - that and realised it superbly.

Having just finished the Mark 1 GR.3 I thought I'd try my hand at a Sea Harrier, inspired by this group build. I managed to pick up the old Revell (Crown) kit second hand. It arrived without a box and with what look like the original (terrible) decals.

Here's my progress so...

Very nice! Love the paintjob with those subtile color changes!

The first time I saw a picture of a Dassault Super Etendard I thought it was a very ugly plane, especially compared to other Dassault aircraft such as the Mirage. But I have to say it grew on me over the years.
It was developed and used by France but other operators were Iraqi...

Regardless of everything it came out nicely!

When you think of the Falklands and you think of helicopters, I tend to think first of the Wessex or of the Sea King (to the Falklands War what the Huey was to Vietnam). If I scratch my head a bit harder and look thoughtfully into the middle distance, the Lynx and plucky little...

Thank you all so much for the kind comments. I'm glad I could finally contribute to this GB. :D

Hello all,

I have decided to attempt this card model of the container ship Atlantic Conveyor which was requisitioned for the Falklands Conflict.

The model (kit) is scaled at 1:400; however, I have resized the pages to 1:144 scale so that I can add kits of the Wessex and...

Having been around a long time for me the Falklands Malvinas conflict is recent history. I remember thinking, listening to the first debate in the House of Commons that Saturday morning, How did this happen? Later I felt sorrow for the loss of life on the Belgrano and the...

My plan is to build a sea harrier with the markings for Cdr Nigel Sharkey Ward's markings for XZ451 006. These markings are in one of the Minicraft boxings, which I found andnnow have on the way.

I plan to have it armed/loaded with 2 AIM-9L and two fuel tanks, as well as the...

Yowch- in that event, what I may do for another Argentine aircraft would be to buy a Mirage III from Mark I. But for now, I got other things on the table, then I'll start the Pucara, FRS.1, and Gr.3.
