Falklands Conflict V.1

Standard colours of Argentinean AF planes during the Falklands (Malvinas) conflict

The Argentine Air Force (Fuerza Aérea Argentina) took active part in Falklands (Malvinas) Conflict in 1982 using majority of then possessed types of planes. Part of the aircraft (incl. Mirage IIIEAs and IAI Daggers) wore standard camouflage colours (similar to US SEA scheme).

At the same time pre-war colours of intensively used IA-58A Pucara ground attack planes of overall semi-matt aluminium were quickly regarded as inappropriate, which led to camouflaging the deployed aircraft in field condition with locally available paints (hence wide variety of schemes and colour tones used).

The Blue Line paints are water-based acrylics optimised for use with a paint brush. Special formula developed and tested with top European brush-painting modellers. Ideal for usage in the wet-palette technique but also perfect for less experienced modellers and painting straight from the bottle. Highly pigmented and extremely well covering paints. After drying give perfectly even surface, without leaving traces of brushstrokes.
