Hi Lynx 7 not seen you on here before so hello from another big Lynx fan. I did the Belcher kit a couple of years back it took me ages to make it but well worth the trouble. Well done on your biuld I love the scratch work your doing. I get to see the real ones alot as I live in Yeovil and Westlands is just down the road. You can here it before you see them and it sounds like any other Lynx but with a slight twist because of the updated engines and the exhausts going up. I am currently working on a 4 foot Lynx as I fly remote control ones it going to take alot of work as the scale I am not used too. If you need any other information on Lynx I might be able to help Keep up the great work. One last tip you might want to add some kind of carbon rod under each main blade as over the months the blades will start to droop and it looks crap. Justin

Hi Shaun I too was there for the day and was well and truly Lynx'd out by the end of it. I was in heaven < the wife on the other hand >! Top top pictures again I must say you do have a gift for getting great shots O and the £££££££££ camera must help too. Justin

Ahh as they should be that looks great can't wait to see it in the flesh at Yeovilton.

Hi Shaun Great pictures and even better as the weather was very grey on the night. I love going to this one you get the chance to get right up close with no one in your way. Best heli for me the Mk3 Lynx do have any more of them ? I got talking to the pilot as the old man used to look after them. All the best

Hi Guys I had this same problem when I wanted to paint my 1/48 scale has 2 Lynx. I tried loads but ended up using the Xtra colour paint a the tamiya one is not that close. I have the luck that I have access to a real one so I could double check it. Funny but the real helicopter at Yeovilton museum had the same problem as they could not get the genuine paint anymore when westlands painted it. http://i660.photobucket.com/albums/uu322/justinjgy/021.jpg

Hi Smeds Have a look at this. http://www.scale-rotors.com/forum/topic/lynx-mk-iv-135 I have just finished a Navy Lynx in 1/48 scale and would love a bigger one as Im Lynx mad.I thought about this but it will take quite alot of work to get this correct as I always seek perfection. This guy is having ago too.If you need details or information I have loads and loads around pictures ect just send me a PM and I will help. Justin

Looks even better in the flesh I can confirm that, well done mate.

This took ages to find but it is Xtracolor paint Oxford Blue.The paint is not very good and took 3 days to dry and 3 coats in total. if I did it again I think i would find something else but the colour match is spot on. what size model are you making?

Hi Tony Intakes I left till last and thought they would be a right pain but turned out very simple,I had got some fine mesh we use at work to filter fuel cut to shape and added black electrical tape in thin strips then painted it silver.then just some ink wash and job done.If you want some I have some left and could make you some.

Good evening all I would just like to say a big thanks for all your nice coments on the model. The main problem with the kit is that all of the parts do not fit and all need filling shaping and making fit this takes ages. Windywafu Yes it is flight 207 I came out to the base in june 07 and had alook around were you there then CPO Barson showed me round for the afternoon.I had a great time are you still there ?

Hi Andy Thanks they might do, Im waiting on my uncle to find out what numbers his had on. many thanks

Good evening all Were is the best place to get decals for my 1/48 scale sea king HC 4

Good evening all. Well at long last I have finished my Lynx Helicopter it only took 2 years on and off to complete but it had to be right. The model has been made in memory of my farther who worked on this aircraft while on board HMS Ardent. The helicopter was changed just before Ardent set out to the Falklands war. I had more pictures and information on this aircraft <XZ244> than the aircraft that was destroyed when the ship was attacked<XZ251> The kit was hard to make and after not making a model for some 15 years took some time.It is the Belcher 1/48 scale model and I added as much detail as I could to it. I hope you like it. Thanks Tony for the instructions on loading pictures took some time but I got there. !!! [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img]

Hi Tony Amazing model,I have just finished a Navy Lynx in the same scale in memory of my late farther and will build a sea king next as my uncle used to fly them in the Falklands. I plan on getting the same as you any big problems as the Lynx took me agaes. All the best Justin ps. How do you post pics and I will post some of the Lynx.

Hi There you can get a taxi from the station in yeovil,if there is not one around cross the road is the taxi station.

Hi There. I can help out with Lynx information as I am working on a Lynx in memory of my late farther who worked on them during the Falklands war and gave his life during the conflict. I have many books and pictures of them that may help you out and a several of other uk helicopters. All the best Justin McAulay
