bootneck Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I would like to convert a Fujimi 1:144 scale Lynx HAS.2 to an HAS.8 version and am looking for plans/schematics that show the fuselage frames (cross sections) in order to get the shape right. Can anyone help please? cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bootneck Posted August 29, 2021 Author Share Posted August 29, 2021 Hi Tony, yes, I understand that and know of the differences as they often do landings at the Helicopter Museum, where I am a volunteer. It is much a case of finding the dimensions and plans of those items which you quote that I need. cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dervish Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 The Lynx HMA8 was retired from service on 10 March 2017 so I don’t know what’s been landing at the Helicopter Museum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted August 30, 2021 Author Share Posted August 30, 2021 And I've been working there since 2008; however, I shall change my wording from do, to did. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tempestfan Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Mike, is it "just" the basic airframe you are looking for or the 8 specifics? If the former, there was a detailed article covering the Mk 88 in some issue of Modell Fan (May 83??), with drawings, but I think no sections. IIRC the drawings were posted her not longer than a year ago - not sure but perhaps by André @Hook? I have the issue but it may/will take some looking.
