  This is my 1/72 scale Academy´s Super Etendard.The kit is very basic in detail but the fit was very good I used very little filler. To improve detail I used a afertmarket P.E. detail set made by Eduard, and that really made the diference, details are included for the cockpit and the exterior, and I add some scratch builded details too.

  Construction was straitfowarward, and when I was done with the glue was time to paint, I used Humbrol 125 with some drops of blue for the upper surfaces and white for the lower surfaces.

  Once the paint dried up I apply a coat of Humbrol clear gloss, and here was problems began, after a week wasn´t completely dry.

  Next steps involved decals and man the kit´s decals are the worst I ever see, incorrect size, incomplete and out of register. I used an after market set made by Aerocalcas, but you have to use some of the kit´s decals anyway, this decals silveed badly even over a puddle of future.

  The final task was gluing all the small detail like antennas, pitot, etc.

  The unit 202 was deployed in Malvinas war (falklands) with exellent results using the Exocet anti-ship missiles.

  weathering was minimum because this planes were almost new when the war began

  I like the way thing turn out and the finished model was a fine addition to my collection of Argentinian aircrafts.

  Best regards and keep modeling!
