Ragtag Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) I'd almost been lured by the Plastyk version to get an AH7- excellent news! Now, if only someone would do an AH9 or Wildcat... Edit: I see from Air-Graphics' Facebook that they're looking at an AH-9 for 2018. Edited December 18, 2016 by Ragtag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff_B Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 You would have thought it would be easier to produce the Army mods for the HobbyBoss Lynx as the kit breakdown is more suitable and the kit is more readily available !. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would need new windscreen and fuselage to correct the shape errors on the Hobbyboss not to mention new rotor pylon to get it down to the right height. The Airfix shape is a lot more accurate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 How will you be able to order this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Looks reminiscent of the old Model Alliiance packaging. Very much looking forward to these! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Very interesting news ! Contrary to Ragtag, I did get lured into buying the Plastyk kit, from which really I only wanted to use the AH.7 specific parts (the rest can go in the bin..). Now I'll wait and see what this conversion is like. Regarding the choice of base kit, the Airfix kit is indeed more accurate than the HB one, however it still requires some work. And the "Army Lynx" box is not really generally available today. I'm glad I bought 3, was thinking of selling two but now I may hold on to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably because this company is run by the person who did run Model Alliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not convinced it was worth it though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
