Argentine A-37

[Mike Wren]

I originally planned on doing an RAF CH-53 Stallion but I left it a bit late & so decided to do something simpler to make sure it gets finished on time... so, take one Academy 1/72 A-37, throw together with superglue in a day or so & add Argentine colours & markings...

Nice looking and very plausible, indeed. Do you think it could be based in Port Stanley airport?

Wow Mike that looks great for just being "thrown together". I really like that camo scheme. Perfect for the South Atlantic.

[Mike Wren]

it's done! and with a whole day to spare (most unusual...)

A-37B Dragonfly A-520 of 3 Grupo de Ataque, FAA, deployed to Port Stanley Airfield, April 1982. Seen before the later addition of yellow ID bands, this aircraft took part in a number of missions against the British advance, using rockets & bombs.  This was one of two aircraft captured by British forces & later returned to the UK where it now resides at RAF Cosford

Very beautiful plane.        

[Mossie]

Lovely model Mike!  And just in time for the anniversary of the end of the conflict too. :salute:  :salute:  :salute:

Nice!

It might be nice to do a British Army Air Corps BAC Strikemaster - as an alternative to helicopter gunships. A carrier-capable version might even be possible as a Royal Marine aircraft to operate off Hermes (keeping the arrestor gear and a cat, but with a bow ramp for Sea Harriers. Being a lot smaller than Harriers, they might have been able to be stacked in the hangar, with detachable wings, being stored in ISO containers. Once the ground forces land, they set up a short improvised runway, and land a squadron or two of Strikemasters to operate from these bases...
