Modern Gallery

Introduction

This page has some photos of various modern aircraft from my collection. Most of them were brought to support my 1/300th armies but now they get more use in air games such as C21 and others.

I've also added some photos of my Argentinan planes for the Falklands conflict. This is a very interesting conflict and has a number of different scenarios. Next I want to get some ordnance for under the wings of these models.

Click on the images to see a larger version. Note most of the images will display the model 2-3 times bigger than actual size and the paint jobs may look a bit rough!

Navwar Airforce A4 Skyhawk. I filed down the hump in the fuselage to make it look like a A4B version since no one makes that version. The refueling pod was made from a piece of wire. It is painted in the Grupo 5 colours.	Navwar Navy A4 Skyhawk. This was also converted to an A4B version and it is painted in Argentinan navy colours. The lettering was done using decals from I-94 and each letter was put on individually, which took a while! The fuel tanks are from Scotia.
Navwar Mirage III. This is painted in the standard airforce colours (from Grupo 8). They were pulled back early in the war and mainly reserved for mainland defence. A nice model from Navwar although the fuselage looks a little bit too fat.	Collectair Super Entendard. A very nice model painted in the navy scheme. Only 4 were available (along with 5 Exocets) and none were lost during the war. I stuck the lettering on in the same way as the Skyhawks, one by one.
Navwar Airforce A4 Skyhawk. Another model from Navwar which I painted in the Grupo 4 colours. This has being converted to a "B" version, the same as the others.	Collectair Kfir. This was converted to a Dagger by filling the holes where the canard wings would normally go. I also added a piece of wire as a refuelling probe. The model is painted in Grupo 6 colours
Mirage III. Painted in South African colours. They are by an old NZ company called Military Miniatures(now Battlefront) and aren't too bad.	Navwar Mirage 2000s. Painted in the French airforce's colour scheme and better than the Mirage III model.
Navwar Saab Grippen. The latest Multi role fighter painted in the Swedish airforce colours. A very nice model which comes with the missiles molded on.
