It's not a Wildcat Lynx, it's a Wildcat! And the HMA.8 is very reliable by the way!

That takes me back to my tornado days when we used to "wave a the grockles" in the spotters enclosure.

Certainly rattled a few cages!

Why not go public Jonners, I'd like to know as would many others I suspect. Jamie (SAM contributor)

My response has disappeared! Odd!!!!

That's the beauty of this hobby, we model for our own enjoyment. If this modeller wants to paint it purple and pink spots with 17 missiles and enjoys doing it then that's fine. I just thought I'd give him some information in order to be more informed so if he chose to make a more accurate load out then he could. I, as always, remain perfectly calm.

The Mk 8 cannot carry 4 Skuas. Also, nothing is carried on the same side as the gun. ASuW and ASW weapon loads are never mixed, not even in training. Hope that helps.

Cheers shippers, I do my best and glad you enjoy them. As for Jimmy, he's still pretty cross. Good job he's gone back to Australia!!! :-)

I've got a 3rd class honours in Geography from Liverpool polytechnic. I'd probably better stop writing modelling articles then as I'm under qualified. Sorry Spence ;-)

I got mine from RB models on eBay. Only a couple of quid for 2!

The difference is counter piracy snipers are anti personnel and used for covering boarding teams whereas counter drugs it's used for NLDF.

Windy, the M3M on the left is standard for for counter piracy as it frees up the right side for the snipers. The M3M gets in the way of those chaps.

The plural of Lynx is Lynx. Same idea as sheep and fish ;-)

I was on LUAS 92 - 94, had a great time, especially "surfing" the meteor. A bunch would get on the tail until it tipped up, 2 of us would be on the canopy when the tail mob would jump off, the 2 on the canopy had to try and stay standing; usually without much success. I thought the F-4 was a great gate guard even though there was no connection. What's on the gate now?

Hi Geoff, Evelyn didn't have the RN logo on the door so the decals are accurate.
