[WW2. (not so) British Paratroops 1:72 (01723)]

Hi, jopress57, john redman is right! Look here: Plastic Soldier Review - Airfix British Paratroops

[WW2. (not so) British Paratroops 1:72 (01723)]

I have painted some of my British Paratroops in 1:72. I think there more generic Paras, because manyof this figures is not correct. But I love them nevertheless!. So I painted them into fantasy style uniform color.

 

 

[De Havilland DH 98 Mosquito NF Mk.II, 1:72]

In 1989 I bought this Mosquito NF. Since many years it was in my collection. This nightfighter flew for the No.23 Sqn.

[Bristol Beaufighter TF.X (1:72)]

Many Years ago (I think more than 35) I built this Beaufighter TF.X.

It is a very simple Kit and easy to construct. Only a few details, not even a cockpit.

I painted it with brush and Humbrol Colours. The construction manual says you have to choose between Rockets, or a Torpedo. I used both. My Model is a TF.X No.236 Squadro, RAF, North Coates, June 1944.

Very good paintjob!! Thank you for sharing.thumbsup

[A01319V Japanese Type 97 Medium Tank "Chi-Ha" 1:76]

Here are some pictures from my Type 97 "Chi-Ha" Tank. The camouflage is a little bit different from suggestion. The Kit makes fun, but the hatches can`t not open.

[Airfix YAK 9-D, 1:72]

Here some pictures from my very old Yak-9D.

[Bedford Mk.4 Tonne Truck G.S. Body (1:76) A02326]

Thanks, jopres57!

I do not know exactly. I build it some time ago. But I thnk it was "chieftain green" from WarPaint.

[Bedford Mk.4 Tonne Truck G.S. Body (1:76) A02326]

My Bedford Mk.4 (1:76). It`s an 2008 Airfix Model, but the Model is originally from JB Models.

This is easily to build. Hope it returns to the Airfix range .

[BAe Sea Harrier FA2 (German Navy) /A04052, 1:72]

[BAe Sea Harrier FA2 (German Navy) /A04052, 1:72]

I have done another "what if". This time a BAe Sea Harrier F2 (1:72).

What if the German (Bundeswehr) Navy flew some in the mid `90s?

The coloring is the same as the british version.

jopres57, this is a clean, good build! thumbsup

[Leander Class frigate 1:600]

Thank you Hurricane Boy and jopres57!

[Leander Class frigate 1:600]

For my Falkland War collection I finished the HMS Dido (after almost three years). For the first time I built a "water surface" from ploystyrene with some body filler and painted it in some blue shades.

[British Grenadiers 1776]

again, very fine! Good paint job, Ratch

[Washington's Army]

Ratch, thats a very fine work! muscle

[Argentine Navy Harrier GR.1 (AR), Airfix, 1:72]

Thank you, jopres57 blush

[Argentine Navy Harrier GR.1 (AR), Airfix, 1:72]

For April, 2. 2022, the 40. years anniversary of the Falklands War, I built this 1:72 "What if" Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR.1 in Argentine colours.

End of the 1960s Hawker Siddeley made a huge promotion tour through the world with their new Harrier GR.1.

Several countries were interested in this plane. Also Argentinia.

The argentine Navy was interested to buy up to 12 GR.1 in 1971/72.

But the deal could not be closed, because problems with the engines and

Hawker Siddeley had to deliver the Royal Air Force first.

So the Argentines purchased A-4 P/Q Skyhawks.

Later, only six months before the Falklands War, UK offered Argentina a new carrier and Sea Harriers.

This is, not out of the question, a very "real" "what if".

What if the Argentines have had Harriers, or Sea Harriers in the Falklands? An exciting question.
