Hi there,
Sorry for th delay in writing, but I was out of home for the weekend.
On april 19th 1982 the first two SUEs 3-A-202 and 3-A-204 were deployed to the southern base of Almirante Quijada, on Tierra del Fuego, the next day th units 3-A-203 and 3-A-205 were deployed too, all the personal and th spares as well as th weapons were sended in several logistc flights.
Because of th French gouverment embargo, the unit 3-A-201 were used as a temporary fount of spares.
The units 202 and 203 were used in both atacks, against HMS Sheffield and th Atlantic Conveyor, and th 202 (according to Argentina) was used in an atack againt the HMS Invencible on may 30th
I´m going to build the 202 (I belive).
If you can DON¨T use th kit´decals, are almost totally wrong, all the stencils are in a wrong colour, incomplete, th sun on the tail should be golden, not yellow, the escruadrilla badge, is wrong in size and register. if yo can get one set of Aerocalcas, wich is a complment of the kit´s decals (you still have to use th anchos and th code numbrs) or Condordecals, wich s a complete set and allow you to build any SUE, but thy are a little thick.
let me know if you need somthing more
best regards
Jeremias
