Afghanistan British Aircraft & Vehicles 1/48

[Guest]

Very well executed Laurie. The placement of men and machines was very well thought out and flows very nicely with the back drop.
This is definitely one to be proud of and I'm looking forward to your next presentation. Rick H.

Thanks Rick. Every now & then I have a look amazed I had the patience. Of course no one is allowed to leave our flat with out me boring
then with a viewing.

On a shelf above my work top Richard. 2.3m (8feet) long 550mm (20") deep. Really needs twice
the space.

The one at the moment Falklands conflict is the same size & scale 1/48. but more units. Also has for
the larger in the real units but to be built 1/72. Think i will hang these down from the ceiling & the differences
in scale will not be that noticeable. No space for any Penguins or Sheep.

Thanks for looking in.

Dave they are all on the shelf. Some brand new some second hand. Some from the USA.

Started collecting a few months before I had finished my similar Afghanistan Diorama.
The finished areseries 2 & 3 1/48 Farmers Landrovers (convert from 1/48 Airfix military
Defenders) military Wasp, Scout converted from a Wasp, , Harrier GR3 : Gazelle :
Etendard : Captured Huey. Argentinian Sky Hawk.

The 2 wasps were a find came from the USA. Same with the Gazelle. Real 80s stuff.

Chinook on the go second hand HU1 November Bravo. Then Lynx, Wessex HU5 & Has3,
Seaking, Harrier Shar, Scorpion, Scimitar : Argentinian : Dagger, Mirage & Canbera..

And so about half way. But wait 1/72 hanging from the ceiling over the diorama Pecura
(Argentinian), Victor, Vulcan, Hercules & Nimrod.

When these are finished Dave i will be taking to my bed for a week to think up something
new :flushed: :smiling2::smiling6:

Airfix.

Incredible amount of work there, it looks brilliant.
I particularly like how atmospheric it is. Everything looks dusty and it gives a great impression of being arrid.

Hats off to you.
