Westlandaircraftenthusiast Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 XZ725 Westland Lynx HAS.3 HMS Osprey, RNAS Portland 702 NAS 1998 This is a slightly different style of RFI that i haven't done before, but i will try ans keep them like this. This was a very nice project, enjoyed it very much. Not accurate at all but that doesn't bother me in the slightest. I custom made the interior, adding some extra detail such as soundproofing (first time using milliput to do that, i would usually used foil) and adding various bits to the back of the seats. I had to convert the bas kit (HAS.2) into a HAS.3 with ESM. Luckily i had a spare nose ESM but needed to make my own sponson and Aft Fuselage sensors. I also had to scratch build a couplle antennas on the tail. I had to paint on the walk boards and flotation bag cover as i had no spare decals, and I am definitely gonna try that again (although the boards are way too light) In the pictures there might be a black line down the side, that is where i needed to screen shot my Instagram as i forgot about BM and deleted the pictures of my phone... not the best decision. Over all i think this has came out quite well, and is probably my last build of this year. Here is the WIP 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
