Tim B Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I hope I'm allowed in with this one. I don't have the resources to hand that Lynx7 does but I intend to learn what I can from his awesome build and put it to good use. I also intend on working on my AH7 to 9 Airfix conversion (which is looking a bit sorry for itself atm) and will keep you posted on that. I probably have the wrong Revell kit lol Time to start bashing. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastic Bonsai Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Wooaah! Sterling stuff but be warned I think Lynx7 makes it look too easy but you are in the best place to get help. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynx7 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Looking forward to this Mate, so long as you have a windscreen and main rotor blades, youre good to go! The base kit is relatively irrelevant. Dont hesitate to ask for any info and I'll do what I can to assist. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim B Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Merry Christmas people, This is still in the planning stages but hope to get some construction done tomorrow. (boxing day) Thanks so much to Tony (Lynx7) who has sent me his plans... I printed them out in A4 as a 4 part poster using a formula only known to the voodoo gods. (we had fun) More soon Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I will be turning to you in the future for help. Pics of the under side of the wildcat would be great and the UC. It looks similar to the Naval)Lynx but a bit beefier? Many thanks (quite tipsy) Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim B Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Westland gave my gramps a watch as a retirement presant. only took me 5 minutes to break it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim B Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 therefore..it wasn't me it was the watch design 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynx7 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Westland gave my gramps a watch as a retirement presant. only took me 5 minutes to break it. Ah it must have been an in-house Westlands designed watch. I have a Westlands pen like that. It looks like a pen but works as effectively as a marsh mallow and stopped functioning as a pen as soon as the pen was outside the factory gates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heloman1 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 My wife worked for one of the larger investment houses in Jo'burg, she has a quite a large collection of useless pens... luckilly non of them Westlands. I on the other hand have a couple of RN & RM pens, which must be ten years old at least and work very well. Sorry to steal the thread.
