This is a 1/48th kit from collectors models, and one of only 100 ever made.

The masters are frm dartford miniatures.

most certainly one of the easiest kits ive ever built, clean up and assembly took 20 minutes







it comes with the pre finished base ive posed the kit on, but i will eventually make my own diorama base as the launcher is far too close to the radar and optical tracker.

It will be a falklands war dio

any comments welcome

thanks

Joe

Cool rare build. Is this resin and/or a relatively new kit? I ask because, at this point, the material (plastic or resin) kinda makes it look toyish and I wondered if this was old.

Keep us updated.

Jeff,

i think it is down to the way the resin looks in the pics, i have no idea how old it is but it is pretty well detailed.

i got it from ebay, the company aparently is struggling and as it is local to me and an interesting subject i bought it.

regards

Joe
