gingertitan Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Did the conversion set idea for this ever reach production? Would love a large mk7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Sweet Je$us Tony. That looks as though we have just wheeled it out of 655's hangar at Ballykelly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wafu Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Awesome, the best technical build I've seen in ages, you've taken a basic kit and converted beyond the next level. Hats off Sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom271282 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I don't normally like helicopters, too many moving parts for my liking. However.... this one is superb. Great detail, love it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthViper Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 On 28/02/2013 at 13:49, Lynx7 said: Well here she is. Finished. Base Kit - Revell 1/32 Westland Lynx Mk88A Paints - Mr Hobby grey primer Grey - Tamiya grey primer Green - Mixture of Vallejo Air - 094, 096 (35%/35%), 010 (15%), 016 (15%) Blades - Tamiya AS06 spray Tamiya gloss and flat varnishes. Flory black and dart dirt washes. Figure - base figure from ADV/Azimut-Modell, head from Hornet. Modyfied to represent British Army Air Corps. Scratched helmet, nav bag and 'go-pack bergen' (milliput). Scratch built (predominantly moulded and resin cast using Sylmasta products): Nose, Skids, Exhausts, Interior (seats, instrument panel, rear 6 man seat, rear bulk head, harnesses plus all the other gubbins inside), GPMG mount, Fast rope Frame and mount, mesh intake guards, various antennas. Enhanced detail on IRJ, main and tail rotors, cockpit and cabin doors and a few other bits and bobs. And not forgetting the thousands of Archer rivets I applied! Build thread here. Without further ado; Yep, that is a scale map of South Armagh! Main head detail including 'Bonk', bonding leads (yellow), spectacles on lower blade root and bonding strips on blade roots. (All these bits are on the upcoming Eduard PE sheet release thankfully) Fast Rope Frame made from bits of alloy tube and plastic strips. Rope is a scale tow rope copper thing. Perfect scale and nice and flexible. I think my weathing of the nose panel lines is a bit too heavy so may wipe some of it away to reduce. BriteStar IR lamp and footstep fitted to right skid. Made using plastic strips and bits of PE. Enhanced tail rotor detail with teeny tiny little bolts fitted to the root of each blade and bonding straps at the blade roots made from tiny bits of wire. Intermediate gearbox area drilled out, gearbox scratch built and placed inside then mesh covers applied. Cant really see the gearbox but I know its there.... I made my own decal sheet as some of the markings weren't on the main Revell sheet. I'm quite happy with how the 655 Sqn crest has come out. Scratch built the ice accretion meter (black prongs just under cockpit door) then realised the Revell kit actually has it. Having looked at them, I'm glad I made my own. Scratch built armoured seats and weapons on the side of the seats. Incorrect for the period this model is set. Late 90s NI 655 Sqn aircraft in 'Role 1' for duty down South Armagh. At that time we actually carried HK53's and not the SA80 Carbines as I've fitted here. I made the seats and weapons for my InAccurate Armour Lynx before I lost interest in that bag of crap. I drilled out the hydraulic reservoir inspection windows and build little reservoirs inside then right at the end of the build, used Humbrol clearfix to create windows over the holes. Excellent GPMG from Live Resin Yep, they really are that dirty. If Lynx aren't leaking, there is something wrong and the fluids are empty... Get your bloody beret off on dispersal!!! "Yep, 1, 2, 3, 4 blades, good to go......." The full gambit of scales. L to R: Fujimi 1/144 (WiP), Corgi 1/72, Airfix 1/48, Revell conversion 1/32. Now, whos going to release a 1/24? This is my second Revell Lynx and it really is a very nice kit with very few vices. My dream kit has always been a good large scale Lynx. AA failed drastically at that but it was the only player in town until Revell released their kit. This conversion was quite straight forward once I'd overcome making the various masters for nose and skids etc. You may be pleased to know that I'm in discussion with a renowned company who wish to make this conversion set. Lets hope we can get something out in the near future. As I mentioned a bit earlier on, Eduard are about to release a whole host of PE sheets for the interior and exterior. Quite a lot of common detail can be used on most versions of Lynx and I'm looking forward to receiving it. Thanks for looking Tony Beautiful building and painting, excellent job, I appreciate all these details SouthViper from Brazil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
