Those are great looking models.

Whew! Those are 1/24 scale, not the 1/72 scale models I was afraid they were!

I built a 1/72 Sea Harrier and a GR3 (maybe a GR7) back when I was a kid, and thought I recognized the kits!

Ah the Bionic Budgie a blast from my past also, though I didn't have to duck when they flew over! ;-p

Oh! You are right my friend.
And I had to quit to play football and other sports because of them.
Actually, today I went to the doctor to future surgery (that I almost put off!).

But I had also more souvenirs in my body my friend.
Wounded three times involves a lot of problems when you began the path to be old. (smile).

Jesus Armand. Wounded three times means you've got to learn to Bleeped texting duck quicker mate! Good luck with the surgery, as someone who has "health issues" as the doctors refer to them, I am all to familiar with doctors offices and hospitals these days. Mind you I'm sure your Xrays are a lot more interesting than mine!!

Very grateful for your kindly words my friend.

At the end… my body was a mess, and the british were who save me.

The Argentinian doctors send me to the "cura" (priest)because they consider I cannot survive.

But the two Marines guys who took me prisioner don't accepted that and carried me to their own doctors who first save my right leg (the argentine doctors want to amputate it and I fight so hard to prevent it, that they ended up throwing me off the hospital.

Then, in the Camberra, Maggie save me again with his care.

So, for those who consider I'm anti-british they are so wrong!. Not only I belongs from a British family (The James) but I owe my life to them.
And I never forget that!.

Yr. Argentine friend.
