Another Qatari Lynx question

[Blimpyboy]

Hiya all,

 

As part of my Qatar Police Lynx HC.28 project (from the 1/48 Airfix Lynx AH.7), I am using the Rotorcraft AH.1 conversion set and have also managed to source a Navy Lynx canopy.

 

Apart from these easy conversion fixes, I am wondering if anyone is able to provide some insights on the intake section. I read (somewhere) that the Qatari Lynxes were fitted with uprated engines and sand filters.

Would I be right in using the intake sand filter units from the Airfix kit, in conjunction with the standard (non-IR suppressing) exhausts?

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

From what I read in the Air Power variant briefing on the Lynx you are correct in that the Qatari Lynxes were fitted with sand filters and uprated engines.
