That build being this Airfix Lynx AH7, finished as XZ196, that I saw at RAF Northolt last year. Kit; Airfix 1/48 Westland Lynx AH7 Paints Used; Tamiya Acrylics Extras; Xtradecal RAF letters and numbers Looking forward to sharing more builds in the future and getting involved with a few group builds along the way Look forward to hearing your comments, Nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buccymad Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 i must say ,when i opened the box ,the number of parts put me off ,but once i started building the kit,it flew together!! (no pun intended) really enjoyed building this and was really impressed by how it turned out . your model looks every inch the professionally finished kit ,and after seeing yours with the doors open ,i wish i had finished mine like that for a first post that is a blinder mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonL Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Nice job! Can I ask what Tamiya colours did you use for the main airframe (I have on of these approaching the top of my stash)? Cheers Edited January 17, 2013 by SimonL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Simon, the green was "Olive Green", XF-58, with the light grey being "Sky Grey", XF19. Also the rotor colour is "Dark Green", XF51 Well done and post some pics of your earlier builds.

ajaycad Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Welcome to the forum Nick, and what a quality effort you have produced - very well done . I am currently nearing the end of the HMa8 version, and I have to say that Airfix have come a long way in recent years. A minor observation, as the Lynx has a rigid rotor head, the blades dont droop down, but you have produced a blinding example and can feel very proud of your work...well done.

NickThompson Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Thanks very much everyone. Ajaycad thanks for pointing that out something I wasn't aware of, must make an excuse though as the front rotor in the pictures does have an extreme droop angle as I dislodged it mid pictures and so it was held very tentatively on the last remaining super glue.
