[FMA IA-58 Pucara 1/72]

Nice models. If the moulds still exist is this kit a candidate for 're release for next year's 40 anniversary of the Falklands war?

[Aircraft Navigation Lights]

This might be of interest. Nav light on a vc10. Clear lens but bulb definitely more blue than green./media/tinymce_upload/bd281b633ba5486fe5fb1d6d3da2888c.JPG

[Helicopters]

Would love to see more helicopters_ particularly royal navy types. A wasp in 1/48 would be top of my list but a wildcat would also be great. Although superficially a similar shape to the lynx the wildcat is actually a very different beast so a complete new tool would be needed.

[Falklands 40th anniversary]

Whoops, should have said invincible not illustrious

[Falklands 40th anniversary]

With this anniversary approaching fast I would like to add my wish list for models relating to a campaign that saw a huge variety of assets involved on both sides.

Head of my list would be a wasp helicopter in 1/48 scale, closely followed by a decent RN anti submarine sea king in 1/72 and a really nice sea harrier and wessex.

A number of barrier gr3s were used and in a supporting role there were of course the black buck vulcan, victors, nimrods etc.

The Chinook was used by both sides and the Argentine forces operated a range of interesting types such as the mirage, sky-hawk, super-standard, Canberra, Hercules and pucarra. 

Then there are all the ships. I would to see some decent models of some of the smaller vessels such as a Leander or rothsay class frigate as well as the perhaps more obvious Illustrious/Hermes/Fearless.

Overall a huge amount of scope for some decent new releases in 2022?

[1/48 scale DH Devon/Dove]

I agree. I would love to model the sea heron that used to fly out of RNAS Culdrose.

On the subject of de havilland though how about a 1/48 rapide. A beautiful plane that so many people still get to take trips in and so many great colour schemes. Must be a demand for a good model in a larger scale?

[Wishlists - 2020]

Now we're getting the buccaneer as well as the fabulous phantom I would love to complete the Ark Royals air group with a 1/72nd scale AEW Gannett and a plane guard wessex.

As a quick option would also like the gazelle in the RN sharks display team colours.
