Very well done a cracking Lynx and in a different colour for a change I love it.

Hi Steve, I hope I'm not to late but the lump on the rear tail boom is not fitted to MK3 Lynx it's an antenna fitted to the later MK8's Looking good just got my out on the bench the nose looks a pain to fill.

Very close thank you but not quite right, yes 1/18 scale looking at getting a F430 Hotwheels model then painting it.

So close yes I have seen them the right wheels but the wrong scale... the only model I have found is a BBR model of the car but at £250 ish Im not keen on stripping it to paint it blue.. Thanks for your post.

Hello I'm in need of some help please, I am looking to make a Ferrari model for a good friend of mine who has a F430. I built him one a couple of years ago for his 360 Ferrari using a Hot wheels model stripped down adjusted and re-painted. I was thinking of doing the same but his new car has the challenge wheels and I can not find them anywhere to buy. They are 19" and have 5 bolts holding them on,I can find the race challenge wheels look the same but are held on buy one centre nut. This is the car... Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Looking good keep it up, love the Lynx

A great looking model and in 1/72 looks like a bigger model to me, well done

Great looking Lynx top job on the weathering,nice to see some there versions on show.

I look forward to seeing this as Its one I plan to have along side my 1/12 Tamiya Enzo I bought early this year. I see there are some great add on kits to make it super detail. Well done so far looks amazing.

Nice looking Lynx Wafu I have a mk8 on the table but 1/32 wont be finished anytime soon lol. well done whats next ????

Well come back to the hobby, I to gave it up for many years after going to Frome model shop I could not believe all the new stuff thats out there.Just like being in a sweety shop lol. Well done on starting with the best helicopter..

Hi Simon no you are right the has 3 tail rotor not only goes the other way but the tail blades are the wrong type too. Early blades were molded into the base plate were as the later blades bolted in place with 2 big bolts. I had the same problem making the Airfix Lynx as the tail blades are wrong in that for the mk3 even buying the so called conversion kit they supply the same ones.Had to chop and mod them. Any thing else just ask I love them . justin

Hello there I have the mk88 kit and there is another sprure in there with the correct parts to make a mk8 just no instructions to show you. I have just started mine so should take about 6 months lol as per my last build.

Wow that is a great looking helicopter and the way you have taken the picture with the back drop is outstanding.Love the weathering I realy enjoyed getting my cab all grubby and making it look old well done..

Very good anything Lynx is great. Nice layout.

Yes agree with above, great model and the lawn looks lovely too well done

Hi Guys, Thanks for all the nice comments it's when you read them all that you understand all the hours you have taken to achieve the results,and it was well worth it. Wafu, Yes I have both the new 1/32 scale Lynx Im going to do something different with the builds this time WATCH THIS SPACE !!. lookforward to seeing yours first as I take so long doing mine lol. Again thank for the nice words. Justin

Been waiting for you to finsh this cab well done mate the time has paid off it is amazing. Im looking forward ot the PE kit as the mk3 is next on my list.At my current build time of around 6 months should have it done for Christmas lol. All the best talk soon

looking good.

Great paint work love the colours.

The cab back in 1977 78 ish in Oxford blue. This is the picture that started it all.

Thank for all the nice words chaps CT Modeller, thanks for your post the cab is no longer and she was broken up for spares and the main body is being used as a test rig for pilots to train on for the Wildcat. I have parts of the cab in my lounge given to me by the airbase. Next model will be xz229 as I flew in this one in the Falklands.

Well after six months I have got it finished at last. I realy enjoyed copying the real cab and all the worn parts that I had photos of. As you can see in the pics the cab had just had a new tail boom fitted as it was getting vibrations from the old one. The amount of dents and poor touched up paint work was all over it. I was told but the work crews that due to health and safety they can no long use grey paint from a spray can and so have to use bits of old sponges and just dab the grey paint on tho the chipped area's. The cab was very old and it showed it too. I hope you enjoy the pics.
