GreenDragon Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hobby Link Japan has more details on the upcoming 1/144th scale kit from Fujimi. You get two kits per box for 800 yen (£3.83) and can make the Army AH.1 and Navy HAS.1 or Dutch UH.14 versions. Link http://www.hlj.com/product/FUJ14412 The 1/144th UH-1N kit also includes two kits and three decal options,including parts for the Italian ASW version. Link http://www.hlj.com/product/FUJ14411 I don't know if this has been posted before but it was news to me, on Cybermodeller's new kit list Hobby Boss have 1/72nd Mk90 Lynx and Super Lynx Kits listed. I Like the Lynx a lot but for some reason I've only built the old Matchbox kit. Paul Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 The 1/144 kits sound very interesting, seems that the small scale fans will have fun with those ! I like the addition of the Italian ASW in the UH-1N boxing, these are very interesting machines ! I've seen the Hobbyboss listed on the IPMS germany website, hope they'll do a good job here. Other helicopters were kind of copies of italeri (H-34) and fujimi (V-107) kits... I hope they'll introduce all the correct differences between the versions. And if then they make an AH.7 then I'll be very happy !!! Giorgio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Drewe Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 The Fujimi 144th Lynx dates from the mid 80's, never seen it myself but I remember it on the shelves at my LHS back when I was still at school. I'd imagine that, simple as the 72nd kit is, this would be more or less a direct scale down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it looked like a Lynx Just remembered - the kit was all on one sprue and the windows were solid (dark blue plastic in my case) - the box had a little diorama base on it. IIRC these were 'fit the box' kits that just happened to be 1/144th (or close) - there was a 1/100th Gazelle as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
