Bedders Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I'd be up for this. I've got an Esci Shar in the queue. Only problem is the lack of Op Corporate decals - can't find any anywhere! Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of those contained options but can't recall off-hand which sheet numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Oh dear, but what to choose ? Argentine Pucara British, SHAR or "that Vulcan" Either way I'm in cheers Pat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMP2 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Quick question - would it be stuff that took part in the conflict only or would post conflict but suitably marked up Phantoms/Tornado F3s or Typhoons be allowed? I ask as in 1/48 I have a Phantom FGR 2, Tornado F3 and Typhoon all with suitable 1435 Flt markings and aftermarket bits. No worries if its conflict stuff only though, got a SHAR, GR3 Harrier, Dagger, A-4C, and Etendard waiting too. Almost as if I was planning my own Falklands GB...

As far as I know the one variously labelled by Hasegawa/Frog/Revell is the only game in town. Happy to be proven wrong though! Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor I searched a few times with the same result after being certain I'd seen one. Maybe it was aftermarket decals I found to suit, been a while, not sure now. Nice subject though.

Truro Model Builder Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 According to Falklands: The Air War there were at least 39 aircraft types used by the combatants. Even I should find something to get involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Just been looking through a box of part built kits that I rescued from the rubbish bin after a local modeller passed away and the family were clearing his house. I'm finishing one of them in the MTO III GB currently, however I have found a part built Matchbox Chinook in the box, its over the 25% but given the circumstances I would like permission to finish it in this GB, if we are successful.

Scargsy Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Sounds great - fancy building a Scorpion FV101 if I can find a nice kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
At Sea Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I'm in please... I have a 1/48 Lynx HMA/8 with the conversion set to make a HAS.2/3. I also have 1/48 Sea Harriers and will probably own a Kinetic GR.3 by then as well, plus Airfix's new tool Vulcan will be out just to annoy Cdr. Ward. Lots of possibilities! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 My group build record is not exactly great. But depending on other (work!) commitments by then, I might tackle my L’Arsenal 1/700 Fearless, since she was the war canoe that kept the 22-year-old Crisp in one piece in 1982 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
128fiddler Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I would like to try too. Hopefully I'll have a fully operational hobby suite (read attic) by then so I finaly produce something with a clear coat by the end... I do have a couple of candidates in the stash...
