I'll have a go at this ( hopefully) I've a Grumman Panther in Argentine Navy markings I could do or maybe a Harrier GR.3 based in Belize.

Excellent choice young man. I would be up for this group build too.
I have a plan to do a triple build of F-5 Tigers from Brazil, Chile & Mexico.
There is also a Hunter, A-37 and a Mirage III clogging up my stash.

Just a reminder that the Latin American GB starts in a couple of weeks everyone is welcome to take part so what are you likely to build I think i’ve settled on the hasegawa Kfir C2 in Ecuadorean marking’s



Marking will be from the AMK kit

Cheers Craig

I’ve an option on 2:

The first from the Cuban pre-Revolutionary era:



Or this from the era of Soviet influence:



Of the 2, the AN-2 is probably going to be the most likely as the Kansan needs an upper fairing and gun turret, both needing designing.

Nice choices Tony

I'm going to build the Airfix F-51D in 1/72 scale, using the Fuerza Aérea de República Dominicana decals in the box.

[VickersVandal]

Shall I chime in with a Colombian P-47?...

[planecrazyman61]

Yes please VV, good pick Andy I considered doing a 2nd build doing a Dominican dh vampire in a similar camo using those national markings but can’t make them work

I only have one kit in my stash with Latin American decals in it - a 1/48 Encore/Revell/ProModeler A-37B with Dominican AF markings.

[H-bomb]

I'll play, with this Italeri MB326k in Brazilian markings.


I might have time for an Argentine A4P from Airfix dogfight double.

That should look great Britwit and you can't fault the Eduard MiG-21 kits.

I'm hoping this GB will rekindle my mojo which has been missing of late. Actually I've not done any model making this year for reasons I won't go into but I will have a crack at this as I've wanted to do a Brazillian F-5 for a while now & as I'm at it I will throw in a two seat F-5F of the Mexican air force at the same time.
I will post some prelim pics later today.

Thanks, the F-5 is an excellent choice! Their last hurrah was Korea. Or was it that S American "soccer war"? Will be watching that build. OOOPPPSSSs- my bad, got F-5 confused with F-51. F-5 was Northrop jet, DUH.....senior moment!
