KingTiger435 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I have finally arrived home after a refreshing and very fun trip to Hungary. Back to the workbench! I've decided to attempt more speedbuilds and I've definitely caught a helicopter fever because this is my third helicopter in a row! (1st was Sea King, 2nd was Merlin). Done quite a lot today considering the age of this kit (1976 tool), the fit is surprisingly good but there are a lot of gaps. I'm aware the seats are inaccurate but the navy lynx version of the seats airfix provided were shocking so I decided to go with the normal version. Seatbelts were added later. It never really struck me just how small the lynx is until now, quite awesome! As I'm writing this, I'm currently filling and sanding everything. Shouldn't take too long hopefully, school starts again on Wednesday! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellsprop Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Looking forward to see g this build progress! And, I can confirm, the Lynx (and Wildcat) are pretty compact little aircraft, kind of like a sports car! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTiger435 Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 Good afternoon fellow britmodellers Today I finished filling/sanding and painting is like 75% complete, needs touch-ups in some bits and plenty of small parts left to add. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
