Something you don't see often is this, a HMA.8 Development Lynx. I chose to make the first of 8 CTS aircraft, being XZ236. She was originally a HAS.2, until getting fitted with a seaspray, seaowl and other various equipment used on the HMA.8 in 1989. She still used the engine/gearbox system of a HAS.2, with steel blades and Anti-clockwise tail rotor, possibly getting upgraded later in the program with GEM-42s and CMRBs. I used the 1/72 Airfix Navy Lynx MK.8 (2001) kit and it was an interesting one. So the parts to make a HAS.2/3 parts were fine, the parts to make 'super lynx' were pretty terrible. They are made out of some lighter, softer plastic, that fit horribly. Some mods that i did do was on the engine cowling as imo its a slightly wrong shape. I needed to use a Hobby boss PID as I knocked off the kit one and it disappeared I did come across some problems but did try to resolve them.
