Lynx7 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Can the Revell 1/32nd version be built with the rotors folded by any chance? I can only speak form the test shot I have and that does not have the blades folded. Not sure whether the production kit will have or not. If not, its actually a really easy mod. Luckily, the blades on the real thing fold at their bolt attachment point as opposed to the head folding. This means you dont have to hack the head or extension arms but simply cut and fold the blade at its root and fabricate the support poles. Really cant praise this kit enough!

heloman1 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I have just had a look at the sprues via the link above, there seems to be a wealth of good detail included. All the SONAR gear in the back, a good looking cockpit.Yes it doesn't have the rivet detail of the Airfix kit and there is a lot of the external detail the Lynx carries, nothing a few sheets of Archers rivets wouldn't cure. If someone sent me the kit for Christmas, I'd build it but otherwise I'm not a fan of this scale unless it were a Sea King, a Whirlwind or a Wessex!!!!!

GrahamS Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Oh for crying out loud - more expense! Did I hear that they were doing a 1/32 Merlin, or am I getting confused with the Airfix 1/48th? Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Hi Graham. I think you were probably getting confused with the Airfix 48th scale kit/up and coming release. You can let your wallet back into the daylight now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stringbag Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 So much negative remarks about a 'test' shot. Steve My thoughts exactly Steve. By the time of it's release it will be unbuildable. Lets hope Nick can scale up the magnificent etched panels that he's done for the Airfix kit. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeehah1 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 28 10 2012 Say it with me, say it gently: Test shot. Test shot. Test shot. No idea what markings will come with it but you can be sure that the aftermarket fellas will be right along with options to cater for all your modelling needs. Nice. I might spring for one.

yeehah1 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 28 10 2012: The thread IS called 'Revell 1/32 Lynx-Test shot' in fairness. And the pics posted were of their (?) build if the test shot. Soooo.... Liam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Khimbar, naw, it's ok for now, I see elsewhere it only has markings for two German units so that's ok. I'll probably buy one and wait for the aftermarket decals that should (inevitably) be released for other markings options. Thanks for the kind offer anyway.

Francis Macnaughton Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 The instructions for the new version are available at https://stage.revell.de/fileadmin/import/images/bau/04981_%23BAU_WESTLAND_LYNX_MK_8_V01_01LOW.PDF Iron Duke 2016 and Monmouth 2012 options are included and main weapon options seem to be Stingray, Sea Skua and cabin gun I see there are 2 control columns - not appropriate to a front line unit I assume? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird isn't it that they have not produced a sheet, they have the artwork from the 48th sheets they produced and the mk.8 pieces were already in the box from the initial release of the kits . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
