stevej60 Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Picked up German navy/Royal navy revell lynx kits recently and it seemed a shame to close them up without photographs,now I am sure there sure a lot of lynx fans out there who will spot my mistakes but using the references on site I am happy just to make them look busy and interesting any suggestions welcome.RN version has centre seating. thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Progress on Revell lynx.these kits are a constant surprise,every time I think I am about to hit a problem fit wise they just fall together.RN version nose needed filler down centre join,German version on hold as sprue containing nose parts has been left at my sons house who gave me his kit! thanks for looking.

Colin Thanks Colin,any excuse to build another one of these excellent kits! I would love to have a Brazilian navy version but I am surprised at the lack of aftermarket decals so far.

stevej60 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Lynx latest,two issues have arisen very poor fit of the four part German nose but worked out ok and idiot builder attached RN version,s wheel legs at the wrong angle so they point inward,so said idiot will have to cut them off and re-attach!Still a very enjoyable build should have them primed in the next day or so but dreading the tinting the top cockpit glazing.

Martian Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 The canopy tinting is easy. Just get some clear Tamiya Paint of the correct colour, mask inside of canopy and airbrush. Don't try brush painting Tamiya clear paints, they just go streaky, guess how I found out? Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Thanks Martin, I bought tamiya clear green and had a practice on the clear intakes brushing and it was a disaster so I will try spraying them.

stevej60 Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 90% of the external lumps bumps etc added so now primed.RN version ready for final coat,WG needs another base coat and I need to mix top coat then try not to mess up white underside,also little bit of filling sanding on both kits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
