These together are perfectly capable of taking out the entire Argentine Navy, Air force, and anything else they're stupid enough to send in the direction of the Falklands.Laurie Knighthttp://twitter.com/_laurieknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-35477871879619685412012-02-01T10:19:00.612+00:002012-02-01T10:19:00.612+00:00All those ship models were messy.

Bloody great, though, roll the years back, eh?<br /><br />Don't think the Argentine military is in any position to do much. Haven't we also got 4 typhoons based there? don't know how many troops but more than last time and, I imagine, in a state of readiness. The sea problem for the Argies, though, is they don't know where any submarines are. Don't think they fancy a repeat of the Belgrano.Franknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-73158396259799982522012-02-01T09:55:30.473+00:002012-02-01T09:55:30.473+00:00Why risk any British lives if they invade just lob...Why risk any British lives if they invade just lob missiles into Buenos Aires untill they leave.Guestnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-91939490969149168252012-02-01T08:44:11.759+00:002012-02-01T08:44:11.759+00:001 nuclear sub in the area could take out the entir...1 nuclear sub in the area could take out the entire Argentine navy without even being spotted.Hollandonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2170981338945747646.post-24236810023708359712012-02-01T08:06:17.574+00:002012-02-01T08:06:17.574+00:00HMS Victorious. 1/600th scale I think, which was e...HMS Victorious. 1/600th scale I think, which was exactly twice that of the Triang Minic Ships range, and offered interesting technical comparisons for the average boy.

Those <br />planes weren't in one piece either. There were lifts in the deck that <br />could be set to up or down (if I had it now I'd try to make them work)</i><br /><br />I'm pretty sure that was the original Ark Royal, because I seem to recall that I had the same model. And yes, it was a bugger to put together.Kynonnoreply@blogger.com
