This is a repaint of the eXCELENT IAI Dagger by Denis da Silva - denissilvaoliveira@ig.com.br - www.fs98fabmil.hpg.com.br

T. Sima made a very good work doing the repaint of the DAGGER, but as he said do not have to much information to did it.

For this reason I made this repaint, I have all the information, because I belonged to the II Escuadrón Aeromovil Dagger during the Malvinas War.
This was an Escuadron of fighting-bombers Dagger, that operate from San Julían, Prov. of Santa Cruz in the Argentine Patagonia and flight to Malvinas (Falkland) to fight against the English Task Force during the autumn/winter of 1982.

The paint squeme is the one used during 1982 and the yellow strips were used for us in order to know if the plane was friend or not.
Not all the planes were painted the same, there were many variants, mainly in the marking.

Also I painted in the left side near the copckit, the siloute of one English frigate victory, it is only that you know how they were, because we do not painted it in the real C-419.

Thank you for remember us T. Sima!!
