conor1939 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hello all This is my first time posting on Britmodller, I have a work in progress Falklands War diorama I aim to have a rear cross section of HMS Hermes deck in 1/72nd, which I have roughly measured out from the ships specifications, I know what Ive got is not even remotely accurate however, since I don't currently have the resources for that 1/72 Aircraft-wise, so far I have: 2 Sea Harrier FRS.1 - 1 Italeri, 1 Airfix 1 Harrier GR.3 - Italeri 2 Wessex HU.5 - 1 Italeri, 1 Matchbox 1 Wessex HAS.3 - Italeri 1 Sea King HAS.5 - Revell 1 Sea King HC.4 - Dragon Figures are from Italeri. My extremely quickly thrown together hangar. RFA Tidepool's Wessex HU.5 In 1/350th, in the background I have Airfix's HMS Illustrious, (very) hastily converted into Invincible with plasticard and Milliput. The water was done with Plaster of Paris. This was thrown together speedily to take part in an Air Cadets wing level modelling competition, I now plan on constructing the section of Hermes from wood as originally planned, rather than cardboard and gaffa tape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radpoe Spitfire Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 That's a pity, the only reason I ask is that I am a member of the aircraft museum in Doncaster. The museum has a cracking Falklands display which includes a number of helicopters that saw action during the conflict. If you're ever back in Yorkshire, come & have a look. The museum is the South Yorkshire Aircraft Museum- well worth a visit. Anyway, well done again, and welcome to the forum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
