Some minis I pretty much finished two months ago but did not get around to photographing & posting. All are single-piece, 1/200 scale, resin miniatures from Armaments in Miniature (AIM) link . Decals are produced by The Goblin Factory and available through AIM link . I didn't have any issues with the minis or decals. I did have an issue with the Krylon Flat Clear that I applied to the Canberra two days ago (96 deg F., 44% Rel Hum). The clear coating fogged up on the Canberra. I applied a second coat and immediately placed the mini in front of a fan. That took care of most of the problem. I let the mini sit for two days in a cool, drafty room and the fogging pretty much went away. …yes, I know the version of the Canberra was not used in the Falklands but it's the only 1/200 Canberra readily available and there are decals.

Very nice. Forgive my ignorance, but are these for a Falklands campaign? I guess all those aircraft were involved. BTW, great flight stand. |

Very cool, I have struggled to stay away from starting up a "Falkland Air War" project. This doesn't help my cause. Chris |

Chortle, these could be used in a Falklands campaign but are currently slated for display. The flight stand is also available from Armaments in Miniature. |

Very nice! And looking at that flight-stand top gave me an idea, but it involves drilling moderately large holes in aircraft: Middling-big rare-earth magnets slightly inset into the model, probably 3mm diameter and 2 or 3mm deep for strength. |

Lovely models I have gamed the Falklands campaign twice now, it wasn't pretty for the RN. The Argies had a bit of luck re weather and Skyhawks in one campaign, it wasn't a good trade off. One carrier fit for scrapping and one carrier fit for scrap! |

Other aircraft from Armaments In Miniature that can be used for the Falklands campaign are the Dassault Mirage, Douglas A-4, AVRO Vulcan. Models that will be added in the near future to the Falklands line will include the correct version of the Canberra, a Dagger and a Pucara.
Kevin, beautiful work as always. |
