Falklands/Malvinas War 30th Anniversary GB

A couple of pics of what I was doing today:

Bye.

Oh, that looks GREAT! New tool, eh? Interested...

M/TB379

This year HPM released the Dagger "new tool".

Here one did by a Brazilian guy.

Thank's for the tip about going to the first page , first Bish .

I'm glad there's nothing wrong with my computer but disappointed to hear it's happening to other people as well .

Hopfullt FSM can fix the issue

Here's some sprue pic's of the High Planes IAI Dagger

I'll be painting the resin cockpit parts for the Argentine Canberra later today , so I may as well clean up the Dagger cockpit pieces and paint those at the same time and the Chinook will finally get paint on her as well .

John .

I get that as well. If i click last post, i just get the GB header. It has done that before on me. I have to go to the first p[age and then to the last one. I have also had that problem you mention as well, with half the post missing. It has happened every now and again since the change to the forum, but i haven't got round to reporting it.

Is it just my computer or are other FSM members having trouble looking at different forum pages . It's taken me two day's and many attempts just to view this page , everytime I tried previously to look at the current posts , nothing would come out . On some other Topics part of the last post seems to be missing or covered by the FSM black background and white lettering that's at the very bottom of each page .

This is very frustrating .

Anyway here's a link to High Planes site that has the 1/72 Argentine Dagger listed

I have one and could post some in box sprue shots if you like ?

John .

Anyone in here know how I can score a High Planes Dagger or Mirage???

Thanks boys. Just a couple of strokes of my brushes and...

Bye

Mochilote, just lookig at him makes me feel the cold.... and we are in late summer heat here!

Your missing a great piece vance. Hope you can see it soon.

Lovely work your doing there Mochilote. That guy is certainly well prepared for the Falklands weather.

Ahhh - the office web filter won't let me look just yet - looking forward to seeing those photos this weekend.

Hi guys; all the airplanes are incredible, but I'll change the subject once again... and that's because my bust is ready for painting.

Bye

LOL! No worries Vance. I figured as much.

Stik!! Sorry buddy, I just slapped the "complete" info onto your name & kept on going. Will update that right now,

Yes, the Mirage IIIEA was a version special made to order for the FAA. Dassault would custom make batches of Mirages for each country with differing avioics packages. The Mirage III EA did not have the Doppler Radar bulge on the bottom of the fuselage below the cockpit of the standard IIIE, and it had the longer fairing at the base of the tail like a IIIC. The basic IIIE did not have that. Also there are a pair of blade antennas, one on each side of the tail, just below the fin cap. if you go back to look on my build, you can see where I made those changes with sheet styrene.

Stik,

What modifications you made on an Mirage III E to make a MIIIEA?

I always thought that the EA was the E version built to export to Argentina.

Cheers

Yes, the Etendard was my original choice for a build. But when I saw a few of those being built here(and Harriers, and Skyhawks- which I have as GB subject matter for here in my stash) and no Mirages, I  changed my build to the Mirage.

No worries about editing the caption. I just figured it may be confusing to any visitors here.

Stik, that should be a prolem. vance has to deal with that post, i am sure he will do it when he see's this. Had you origianlly planned on building an Etendard?

I see how problem with the harrier either.

Bish, I had a look at the front page yesterday and my Mirage is listed as an Airfix Super Etendard think we could could get that edited to reflect that it is a 1/48 ESCI Mirage IIIIE (modified by me into an EA)

Oh yes, can my previously existing, partialy built 1/48 Tamiya Sea Harrier be added? Or is it too far along (somehting like 70% build completed)

Thats a 48th Heller kit. bsyamato built a 72nd Academy kit of the same aircraft.

High Planes instructions suggest painting the entire cockpit flat black , is this correct for EE Canberra's ?
