Orion Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hi Britmodeller, My second contribution. The Super Etendard from the Argentine Navy. Armed with the famous AM39 Excocet. After the latest data information in regards to target, this missile is released from the AC at approx. 45 km from the target. Full information on target acquisition and flight profiles can be found in the book "Wings of the Malvinas" from Santiago Rivas. Highest Regards, Dirk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Cor! That's a thing of beauty! The base - with all the superb details - is a masterpiece as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Hi Britmodellers, Thanks for all the nice comments. Marlin lots of succes with the Etendard. Looking forward to see it ready for inspection. I checked the word "BAN" in the excellent book from Santiago Rigas. Correct , it should be "BAM" The abbreviation meaning:Base Aérea Militar (BAM) and not Base Aérea Naval. (BAN) Thanks for that Louis Pacheco. Regards, Dirk / The Netherlands.

Jurrie Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hi Dirk, Looking fantastic! Just finished also one, a while ago, while using the Academy kit. Did you use the decals that came with the kit (assuming that you had the Academy kit)? Mine were quite worthless actually...
