I am sure this will be a popular build and that's ok. @stevej60 is building it too, I think, so I am in good company! I have already built one of these Airfix birds, so I know it'll come together well enough. I am also only building one kit for this GB...anyway, I already have an American Scooter. So Argentinian it will be... The box art... The sprue... the markings... And the profile. Looks snazzy. I'll see you all later this week! --John- 76 replies

Here's my entry. I'll be doing the new Airfix tool as an Argentine A4-Q. Replacement tanks from Freightdog, I got the full A4-B set they do and at the last minute decided to do the Q instead, some resin for the spares box then! Seat from Pavla, although the kit seat seems pretty good so I may just make some belts for it. Instrument panel from Modell-Hobby, looks very nice. Some things that go boom, courtesy of Hasegawa, the kit ones look a bit ropey. Decals from Aztec, very comprehensive sheet, I think you can probably build every plane that even thought about hanging around the Falklands in 1982. Bit fiddly with some of the serial numbers, etc but should be fine! Little bit of reference material, just finished reading the "Wings of the Malvinas" book which is rather good, lots of anecdotal evidence interspersed with a mountain of facts, nice to read something from an Argentine-centric point of view. I'm off on my hols in a few days so I wont get much done before then, realistically, but I have a little light reading for the long plane journey with "Air War South Atlantic", sweet.
