Are you sure of the denomination HP?
The AA52 was only issued in 7.5mm. The AANF1 was 7.62mm and came in automatic rifle or MG versions.

Of course you're right Olivier Looks like I've mixed up specs...

H.P.

From the pics it looks like the helmet retaining device was moved to the right front turret side and the rear rack included in the Takom kit is not mounted.

Externally any differences with the AA52 and NF1?

The 7.62mm barrel is longer and thicker.

These photos bring back memories as I was billeted in 'The Globe' Hotel when we marched into Port Stanley on the day of the surrender and recall these vehicles all parked up in a line.

I look forward to seeing the kit built up and good work so far.

Thanks Gary by the data, I don´t have enough information about that time, in these years some of our soldier started to write about the campaign of Argentinian army on the Malvinas.

Hi Omar. Just to be aware, we also 'borrowed' some Mercedes jeep type Argentine Army vehicles (G Wagon?) that we used as run-arounds in the days after the war ended and all the equipment was virtually 'as new' condition. I have no recollection whether it was factory new or the equipment had been freshly painted and well serviced prior to being transported from Argentina to Port Stanley? Perhaps the historians will know?

Likewise the armoured cars in the pics were all very well maintained - no 'chipping' or rust on any of these machines!

As such, I would keep weathering on your model to a minimum ( for artistic licence) or non at all (for reality).

Good luck with the build.

Jason,
the Dragon MG should be a good base but without the transport handle. If you intend to keep the handle, you should add the bipod as both features were standard for the automatic rifle version not the MG one.

AAN-F1 (automatic rifle)


AAN-F1 (machine gun)

Hi Jason
This points you must have to considerate:











And the other point is the sport of the MG, must be made by scratch, because the kit doesn´t bring it.-
