AnonymousDFB1 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Well it seems like I haven't achieved much over the last two days., lots of masking and cementing of little part's I might even get some paint on her tomorrow! Got the undercarriage 'out-riggers' in place as well as a few pieces on the underside Main rotor blades masked off ready for the leading edges to be sprayed aluminium. Main doors & cockpit doors masked and ready for spraying. Tail-rotor is now finished apart from decalling. Main wheels finished. Main rotor and paint tomorrow?

Wafu Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Looking good but your rotor blades need some rigidity. Lynx at rest demonstrate a curious thing of the MRB's pointing upwards. I wish I had 12 hours to model, bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking good Mish. What grey did you use? Thanks Tim the darker exterior grey is Tamiya XF-24 and the light exterior grey is Gunze H338 Light Grey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Good progress today, started on the decalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wafu Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Looking good with the decals. 12 hours of modelling, respect to that. Just done 2 hours in my workshop, the west wind blowing cold wet draughts through the Eve's. spraying the rotor blades and drying them with an old hair dryer, don't tell the wife that's why she got new this Christmas. With respect to the blades, just a thought if you could glue metal rod underneath the blades to straighten them out. I did this with an 1/72 Airfix Mk 8 I made with Airwaves BURP blades, pre Airfix Mk8 kit. Cheers the Woo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks but to do this would then (in my opinion) ruin the look of the blades and at 1:32 this is going to be very visible. So not for me as my models get exhibited at model shows.

Lynx7 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Mish, may I suggest having a quick peek here (post #71)and have a look at my solution. It works for both the 1/32 Lynx I've done and the added bonus is it makes removing the blades simple for transportation. It also means you can slightly tweek the blade at the point where the brass rod is to take out any droop without fear of breaking the blade where it attaches to the blade arm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonymousDFB1 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Very good but way, way too late in my build. I'll stick with what I've got thanks, even if it's wrong for some people. Edited January 1, 2014 by Mish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tim the darker exterior grey is Tamiya XF-24 and the light exterior grey is Gunze H338 Light Grey Thanks Mish. I was wavering between XF-24 and RLM 75. I was forming the view that the latter was a touch too dark, so you have helped make my mind up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
