Rodders154 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I bought a hobbyboss lynx on Britmodeller and have just got around to building it. Hobbyboss missed a great opportunity to build a Lynx with the aid of CAD but it has turned out to be a bit of a challenge to get it near right. I am nowhere near the helicopter modeller that Lynx 7 and Perdu are but I gave it a go and here it is. The faults of the kit are well documented and I wont go over them again but in building it I have used The Rotor head and blades from an airfix kit (car boot 50p badly started) Why on a kit that is more expensive than the airfix one would you leave off the control arms on the rotor head??? I wish I had noticed that the front doors didn't have the bulged windows I could have used the airfix ones instead. I also used the nose of a Fujimi kit I had from years ago that didn't have any transparencies in.

jean Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I am no helicopter boffin either, but your Lynx really looks like a Lynx should look in my eyes. And the paint job looks spotless. Very impressive! JR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foghorn Leghorn Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 That looks supa dupa to me rodders, funnily enough I've got the Hobbyboss and Airfix kits and I plan to do the same cross kitting. Intake guards look very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intake guards look very good. I tried to use the airfix nose but it wasn't a near enough fit so used the fujumi one instead. Intake guards are just painted kit parts nothing done to the as you would see if I had had the camera set on macro Rodders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
