Skyhawks, Super Entendard. I think I have some helicopters for the Argies. I may have a 339 already, need to check and a Pucara might be nice.

There is a Pucara kit available - no idea who does it!

Funnily enough under construction is an Airfix Vulcan (Falklands bomber), and a 1/48 Sea Harrier (Falklands).

I am also building 1/24 Harrier which cost £17 new - one option is a Falklands Harrier.

I wonder why most suitable aircraft contain the option!

special hobby does it in 1/72.No captured RAF markings included but when I work up the nerve...

New from MPM in 1/72.

The old Rareplane vacuform kit was also very nice.

There is a real one at Cosford air museum, in the same hall as a Tornado, Lincoln, Mig15, and a few British, German, and Japanese WW2 aircraft.

Last time I was there a cleaner opened up the canopy with a little handle, cranking it about a thousand times to get it a little bit open! Pucaras can also be seen at the Norfolk & Suffolk Aviation Museum, North East Aircraft Museum, Duxford, Port Stanley in the Falklands, a cockpit exists at Boscombe Down and I'm sure there's others elsewhere.

They brought a lot back!!!
