Did not know how to do a link if possible from one section to another so I thought I would post it here. Remote control Lynx build in the RC section. Enjoy

Started work on the sponsons as they are so wrong,have some great plan drawings of the lynx to about the right scale to guide me.

Hi all, I am on here most of the time looking at what you are all building and thought I would share my Lynx build that I have been doing for some time.I have been watching all the Airfix kits being made will start one soon I think. The kit came from Hongkong but is very simple and has no detail at all on it so I am having to make every lump and bump on it. Going to get about 80% of it made then get the mechanics for the inside. Going to be fitting a 4 blade head and 4 blade tail rotor system on it. Enjoy the pictures and will up date as I go this is going to take some time !! Justin

Hi All As you know 30 years today it all stopped had a very nice service today at yeovilton in memory of the fallen http://www.itv.com/news/westcountry/ Justin

Well done on a cracking Lynx model very nice indeed.

Hi Tony very well done AGAIN on another top class model.At the rate you are making them you will have more than they do a VL. ! talk soon Justin

Great work Tony love the engine that you have done.

Some pics of my dads old Lynx. hope you like them.

Hi Heloman1 I am too a very big Lynx fan thanks to my farther working on them and love the old school mk2/3 in oxford blue. I made a Belcher kit many years ago and remember the finish being very hard to get right. Im looking forward to doing a number of the new lynx models.

Very very well done on a good conversion its one Im looking at doing soon. I here there is a mod in the pipeline so may be a conversion kit will be out later as Im sure alot will want to do this. Will have to finish off my 3 foot rc Lynx first lol

HI Tony Some great shots from down there.My Farther was on HMS Ardent when she went down and I am always on the look out for information and pictures that are not the normal stuff you see on the web. I have met a good number of dads mates over the years and most have pics and great stories of him and what happened all those years ago. I have been down there twice now in 83 I was nine and then again for the 25th anniversary.The stop of have way looks the same as when I was there nothing much has changed at all. Great pics again got any of Has 2 Lynx's ?? Ps my uncle was aircrew on wessex down there Peter < Wally > Hammond. J

I might be able to help will have a look in the loft as I have collected a number of bits in the early years as I was looking for information on my farther that worked on 815/700 Lynx. Will have a look and let you know. Justin

Hi Tony You are the man ! Great information Im sure many people will use this info for a long time. Justin

HI All Just thought I would share my most treasured parts I have around the my house. I lost my farther in the Falklands back in 82 and after tracking down one of the last Lynx Helicopters he worked on I not only got the chance to fly the old girl but when they de-mobbed it a year ago I got to have some parts of it. I was let loose on the cab and got the cyclic lever,switches from the dash,temp sensor from passenger door,Compass from the dash top and the green nylon cover that goes over the floatation bags. I was then in for a very special present when I was presented by the boss of 815 Squadron a rear tail rotor cut down with the clock from the dash installed in it. It is a very nice part and is on show in the lounge. I hope you like the pictures

Morning Tony Got Monday off so just checking on here for any new things and what a surprise your doing another lynx. I believe the box art of the blue Lynx is the same as the airfix kit and if so is XZ229 I flew in this for the 25th anniversary down in the falklands. I guess your making it into a Mk3 as the said about the blades ? Well done look forward to the update pics. J.

Great scratch work as always, kkep it up.

Lynx 7 Here we go again with another cracking Lynx model.I have often looked at getting this one but wish it was a Navy one.Will be getting the Revell navy one as soon as it comes out. looking forward to seeing the progress.

Well done Tony great model I love it.

Well done Tony looking great look forward to some nice photos of the finished model,may be you could get some of it outside in this great weather we have been having out on the lawn maybe ! You started in the Wild cat yet ? Mines taking shape got to go to the model shop get some fibre glass to bond on the sponsons and a new drenel as I have burnt my old one out.Lots still to do on mine working on the guttering that goes above the sliding door on the sides.The one on the model is just a block running the lenth of the model not great. Justin

Very well done the model is looking amazing. I will email you over some of the pics of my RC Lynx getting stuck into now making the floation bags for the sponsons at the miniute what a pain that has been. Love all your scratch work it keeps me going when I get stuck. So you must be flying pretty close to me now that you have started your new job? Talk soon

All looking very good I keep seeing them flying over work at the miniute testing them out. Keep up the good work I might have to employ you on my larger project as you are so good a scratch building. Justin

Shaun I have said it before your shots are simply perfect mate the mist over the tops of the wings on the A10 are just amazing. Keep up the good work.

I have a lump in my throat mate thank you. It has been ages since I went on the sim as I have a pS3 and the graphics / speed are great but no Lynx's. Justin

O my god what a small world, no we never got around to sorting it out I would still love it. Wild cat very nice at Yeovilton airday I was talking to one of the air crew who has been working on them. Since we last talked I have flown one of my dads old cabs at Middle wallop as it was being stripped as part of the donor system.Yes I did get some of the parts got a great bit that the guys made for me it is the rear tail rotor with the dash clock machined into it. Would love to show you some time. Talk soon
