Here is a simple conversation of a Falklands War argentine infantryman. Base is an old 1:72 Airfix british paratrooper. I cliped of head and weapon and added a new US Style head with goggles and a SLR (both in metal). Self created webbing and bags to completed it.

Hi, here is another figure conversation of an old Airfix figure. It is an old US-Marine (first version) into an Argentine Infantryman (Falklands War) using a walkie talkie, or radio. I changed head, left arm, weapon into SLR, right hand and added webbing and pouches. Retrospective I would say the webbing is not good and has to worked out better. Does anyone have a suggestion to make it better? Please let me know.

I have made some more figure conversations of other manufacturers, but it is not permitted to show them on this site.

In future I wish a set of plastic figures of this conflict. I know there are some manufacturers of metal figures and there are Revell/Matchbox NATO Paras, but I think one manufacturer could make this to opposite, too.

Hope you like it?!/media/tinymce_upload/52310d4ec33ac1fa599d5b22ea66035f.jpg
