Falklands/Malvinas War 30th Anniversary GB

Hi there,

I have sterted my 1/48 Dagger.

I am using a Mirage III CJ from Hobbyboss and a resin conversion set from Aconcagua.

The interior is nicely represented, but I din´t botter too much, just some dryburshing.

The fit is quite good, but you have to have some experience before you cut a kit like this.

I glued the wings yesterday (more pics tomorrow), but sadly one of the engine intakes is lost, I am working to get a replacement as soon as posible.

cheers,

Jere

ps: Looking good bish!

Hi there guys!

Nice work around here, I specially liked the way the Chinooks are going. I have to build an Argentinian version some day.

Thanks, i am looking forward to seeing Helo's Argetin Chinook.

 I have seen Hannants now have the 48th and 72nd Aztec decals sets and they both say part 1. I didn't realise these sets had both Argentin and British. Some very nice schemes on those sets.

Got the black underside painted and the decals on this week.

Hope to have this finished by the middle of the week.

Very excited to start the 'tune tomorrow.

Jere thank you for the decals, AND the instruction sheet with color matches for the camo.

I have the PE set, Just need to clear off the bench. Hope to have the cockpit together by Sunday night.

Vance, this is the first part of the decals.

Aztec will release a second part with the SUE and other planes.

hmmmm - I'll be watching for part 2!

Great score Azorean!

The only downside I can see - All those great-looking decals.... and no Super Etandards??

Wow ! you could almost do a GB with everyone building one aircraft off that decal sheet.

Cheers

Tony

Arrived today at my home.

 I´m speechless with the work done by Aztec

Decals are under way. And she does look rather shiny doesn't she. And not a drop of future in site.

My Aztec decals arrived yesterday from Mexico! Ole! And I am now on vacation so I can get my Mirage finished up in the next few days. And perhaps my Sea Harrier too

Good news Stik, glad they were worth the wait & $. Bish - Chinook part 2 is closing in on decals soon as well??

Perfect shine Bish!

Have been able to get the gren on Thursday night, so should be ready for the black underside by the time i get back to camp.

Oh they look beautiful! And there are enough serials there for me to do ANY of the Mirage IIIEAs. Only tail badges for one build. But the sheet includes LOTS of extras... kill marks, national insignia, serial numbers.... very very nice and worth the cost. Some of the translation into English was a little rough I think, and due to the large volume of aircraft profiles and historical info on some I think a few others were short changed on historical background information.

I´m still waiting my decals!

Tell us what you think about the decals!

Thanks Tony, this is going more at the rate i would like all my builds to be. I must put myself under pressure more in the future. Some more pics later on.

A question for Jere:

My Neptune is green brown. Came from the bad feelings vs Chile in 1978 or so.

You had the colors, but I can't find the post upstream in this VERY successful GB.

Please remind me.

Bill

Too many pages to sort through - I guess that's a good problem, right??

Nice deuce Bish. I'ts an unusal and outstatnding effort to get two Chinooks done.

Cheers

Tony

Bish second Chinook?? great ;D

Able to get a midweek update this week. Not a great change from the last pics. After the sanding, i was able to get the Grey on last night.

 I should be able to get the green on tomorrow night, so more at the weekend.

Ye, everything is the same. Even got the same base and Falklands patch. I forgot to take pics of the fuselage interiour before i put it together. Been able to get some paint on, should have the green on by the end of the week.

Helo - nice option with the next S-58 - I assume that machine was left in civvy paint & used for med-evacs?? A different looking scheme for sure.

Bish - Chinook part 2 is coming along well too. Does this one also have the full-on interior treatment that you gave the first one?

Thanks, i am hopeing it turns out as well as the other one as i was really pleased with tha. And as this is for someone else, which i have never done before, i don't want to disapoint.

It'll be a good looking thing when it's done Bish.

Cheers

Tony

Heres the update pics of the Chinook. I still have to do some sanding along the top. I have added the canopy but have no piccys of that. And as i am sure John knows to well, it was a pain in the butt.

John, excellent work on your Wessex and all those other helicopters you're bringin' to us. Very well done!
