Pop quiz; what's wrong with the Airfile front cover? First person to spot both mistakes will win absolutely nothing.

I think there might be an Argy Dagger next in the cue. I have a few HPM kits and the good thing with these kits is all the versions (including the IIIO) are in the 1 box. I really should sort of some more shelf space before too long LOL


Dude, what's the best SHAR FRS.1 in 1/48? I attempted and failed with the old Tamiya offering many years ago. Is there a decent 1/48 SHAR out there?

Re, pop quiz - Argie roundel wrong colour? Should be pale blue?

Your choice for SHAR are Tamiya or Airfix. Both have good and bad and yes, roundel colour should be closer to the background blue of the cover, whats the other error?

The spelling of the word Falklands, ("Falkands" just doesn't falkan cut it!!! :D ), and the colour of the Argy roundel.

I reckon the AIrfix is the better of the 2. The hot rumour is Kinetic IIRC is doing the FA.2 very soon. This means there's a possibility of an FRS.1 in the future :) :)

...and Ray wins. There would have been a bonus prize of completely nothing if you'd mentioned that technically the Falklands was April to June, although the first major air attacks on shipping started on May 1.
