bluriusz Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hello,Just have finished this and I'd like to share with you. First as usual, couple things about the kit. i was really really surprised when I first open the box. First glance on some pieces, mainly the fuselage and the cabin and only thing I could say was "wow!". The "wow" factor ended couple steps later. Don't get me wrong, most of the kitis really amazing. Great detail, a lot of rivets and nice panel lines, but when I get to the engine cowling I was shocked. I've looked on different websites to see if real Lynx has this section completely flat, as on this kit.. Well it still looked good. then I went to fitting the main canopy and beautiful 1mm gap appeared! I've managed to fill it with some putty, but I don't really like surprises like this. I don't mind some gaps, but this one was way too big. Other disappointment was engine intake cover which should be a mesh, but in the kit is made with clear plastic. I scratch build it with some old PE leftovers.The kit gives you couple options of the aircraft to build. I decided to build anti-piracy Danish version. I kind like it I must say. I've installed an internal light to lighten up the cabin a bit. It was just a try before my general and main project for this year and it worked fine.Ok, no more talking, there come the pictures: Thanks!

Martian Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Very smart! This is the same scheme as I have earmarked for my kit. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roof Rat Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Cool, and I like the internal lighting to, very good photography also RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl_five_zero Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Wow! That weathering looks great! Difficult to make such a plain scheme look interesting, but you've pulled it off. I've been umm-ing and ahh-ing about whether to do one of my Lynx as as Mk.90B or to try and convert one to a Mk.86, but the more I see those Danish Lynx, I feel it might be a Mk.90. Doubt it would turn out as good as yours, though! Daryl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluriusz Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 Thanks everyone. Now I regret that I've used "warm white" LED. It's a bit yellowish. I'd recommend pure white at the moment:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jens Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Nice job indeed!This is the real thing with its old nose art: A new nose art was applied after S-134 and its crew picked up a couple of hostages inside Somalia.Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStig Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Great work! wheres the switch for the light?? ive installed motors before, but next id like to try putting lights in one of my models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluriusz Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 Great work! wheres the switch for the light?? ive installed motors before, but next id like to try putting lights in one of my models. Thanks, The switch is inside the model. Unfrotunately if I want to replace the battery, I'd need to take the undercarriage off.. For the future builds with lights I'll think of something better:) This is how it looks: And the location of the switch. It was just perfect to place it there:) All I had to do is to drill a small 1mm hole and align switch with the hole. Now I turn it on with a pin or needle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
