Moggy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Hi! I'm planning a UH-1H, a Puma and a CH-47C Chinook al three Argentine Army Aviation during the Malvinas campaign 1982. In order not to be pigeonholed as a rotorhead I'll be doing an A-4Q Argentine Naval Aviation from the same campaign... Kits: ESCI Huey, Airfix Puma, Italeri Chinook and Fujimi Skyhawk. ALL of them in the gentleman's scale - 1/72 ;) Edited January 24, 2012 by Moggy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Azgaron Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Sounds interesting Moggy! I have the Puma in my stash too, and will start building it soon, but not for this GB as I have no decals that fit. Cheers, HÃ¥kan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El pibe vitina Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Of course, shure these are interesting subjects! I never know exactly wich colour use to do an Argentine CAE Puma. Hope your build help me to add light about it. Am I wrong or your surname is the same as an American WWII twin engined plane? Bye for now... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 ALL of them in the gentleman's scale - 1/72 ;) Sounds like a classic IPMS fight coming on! Looking forward to seeing them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moggy Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Nice! welcome aboard! Thank you Pep! @Azgaron: the Argentine Army Aviation Puma has very few "national" markings - if intersted I can post some pictures/drawings. @el pibe vitina: exact colour for SA.330L Pumas in Argentina is a matter for discussion; a certain professional aeronautic artist from Argentina once told me that the Pumas were painted in a much darker olive green than the Hueys... This was borne out by the pieces of Puma helo exposed at the FAA Museum (Yeovilton, UK) and... yes it's me ;) @CorsairMan: The quip about 1/72 being the gentleman's scale is said with tongue somewhat in cheek - everybody chooses whatever scale they feel confortable with and has fun building models it that scale or why not SEVERAL different scales! ;) However I once put together the following "saying" (just in a spirit of fun - or for some good-humored banter or needling of friends with a sense of humor!): 1/32 is the REAL Braille scale - for the pieces are so big that even blind people can build the model! 1/48 is for those modellers with fingers too thick for DUPLO... 1/72 is the gentleman's scale - for size matters not but style and finesse DO. 1/144 is the bonsai scale - have a whole air force in your closet.

Azgaron Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Thanks Moggy, it would be interesting to see a Puma in Argentinian markings. Then perhaps I can build the Puma for this GB too. Cheers, HÃ¥kan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
