FV107 Scimitar in Falklands

[jonkka]

I have AFV Club FV107 Scimitar in my stash and I am considering to make my next project out of that one. The most tempting setting for this is the Falklands War as it's one of the very few vehicles that saw action down there. For couple of days I have been looking through what various search engines can find about this vehicle in particular or vehicles in general in the Falklands.

Unfortunately colour pictures of good size / quality seem to be scarce and I'd ask your opinion about the colour scheme Scimitars (or Scorpions, for that matter) had or would have had there and then? I am inclined to believe it was standard scheme for the era what was used but any confirmation would be nice.

Also, any other pointers or advice is appreciated as this is my first foray into post-WW2 British vehicles.

Check out my build of 23A one of the Scorpions that took part in the Falklands, I've included several photos and links to other resources:

If you are a Facebook user I'd also suggest joining the CRV(T) Appreciation page which has a load of ex Scorpion and Scimitar crew posting a LOT of old photos, including some from the Falklands I'd never seen before. I even got to talk to the bloke who drove 23A and is featured in the photos.

Thanks for the link to your thread, it definitely looks like one I need to read really carefully.
