Yep, another one!

Scratch built Skua dolly, offset steering arm, chocks.
Detailed blade fold arms, interior, weapon carriers, nose avionics bay, tail fold hinge and area
Scratch built exhausts, intake grills, blade fold forward stays, pitot tube, ice accretion meter (blade twin blades on cockpit stbd side)
Added brake hoses and alloy tube oleo strut.
Remove before flight tags etc.
36 separate decals per Sea Skua!!!!
Scratch base to depict deck of HMS Glouc

Not a strictly accurate configuration as the live Sea Skua would only be loaded just prior to take off (thanks Haggis :D)

That is so good I had to do a double take just check that it was not a picture of the real thing! Best Lynx build I have seen to date in any scale.

Hi Tony, Cracking build there, you have certainly put a lot of extra work into this one and it shows. I do like the tow bar and chocks , the lines on the blade fold support poles, something you don't see all that too often on a model which is parked. Along with the fine base and those two items, then model now starts to tell a story rather than just a finished model plonked on a table.

It's a cracker.

PS. My three kits arrived yesterday, needless to say, I'm still drooling!

That's another beautiful Lynx you have built! You have nailed the colours on the floatation bags and many details, thus making the overall impression even better.

What did you do to the instrument panels and seat belts?
