This list was compiled from various sources, I have tried to include relevant information regarding available kits as I came across them, I am not suggesting that this list is complete or exact, but my findings so far. No doubt as I research more, details will be added.
A ** will indicate that I have built a model of this one, * indicates that I have the kit in stock, or intend to scratch build it.

Enough to keep you out of trouble there.........

The Falklands Fleet so far, completed ships.
From different angles.

They're certainly keeping you busy Dave.

Wonderful work, enough on the list to keep you busy this year.

More progress on the Olmeda and the Hospital ship.
Windows on the Uganda made from sliced up black decals - The aircraft modellers will not be happy, they were from some left over invasion stripes.

Oh no!, not the invasion stripes, what sacrilege......

Don't tell Neil!!!!

The Olmeda is now complete, but I will have to do something about the transfer silvering.

Next it is on to HMS Intrepid, this is kit from L'Arsenal and is cast resin and etched brass, lovely detail and moulding. Will I be up to the task?
The etching is quite flimsy and very bendy, a silvery colour rather than brass.
I have already built the Fearless and so although the kit states Fearless, it can also be built as her sister ship HMS Intrepid, both had involvement in the Falklands. It will be interesting to compare this with the 3D printed Intrepid.

The detail is excellent, here are the landing craft.

Also people and here is the Wessex helicopter parts.

Just make sure you paint the eyeballs or Howard will be after you.........

Oh, there's some serious work ahead here!!
