I painted these guys up in two batches. The first batch I painted earlier this year, the second more recently. So far there's two squads of riflemen with a radio operator and two heavy weapons stands.
I don't have anything specifically in mind for these dudes; maybe sometime in the indeterminate future I will try to make some Argies through headswapping and other methods, as I have seen some other bloggers do (
here and
here). The world of 1/72 scale gaming has a sad lack of Falklands-era Argentinian forces, despite there being two good Falklands-era British forces sets - the
A Call to Arms British Infantry of the 1970s and the
Matchbox NATO Paratroopers. The Revell British Paratroopers I painted up are just a reissue of this set under the false label of 1/76 scale.
