OzH Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) It seems to be the norm here to introduce any new projects with the box top and contents pics - So here we go Belcher Bits 1/48 Lynx that I will be building as a Mk 7 TOW, this will be my first all resin kit, wish me luck!! If anyone has any good interior pictures I would appreciate a looksee at them. I have a few but would like to get this one spot on... Thanks Edited April 29, 2008 by OzH
Mentalguru Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Impressive looking kit- looking forward to seeing this one as it comes along
speedy Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 OOOOOOOOOOOOOOh watching this one. Could do a 657 Sqn jobbie with the covers on, as its too hot to fly
OzH Posted January 27, 2008 Author Posted January 27, 2008 Here's my first progress shots, So far so good, some filling required..
Grant Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 It does look a good kit. If ever he was to do the G-LYNX World Speed Record bits again I would have one in an instant! Good luck with the build and keep us posted. cheers Grant
markc Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 Looking forward to this build Oz, will follow with great interest I have one in the stash but not quite got round to it yet. I managed to pick a great reference book on the lynx at Telford in November, however away on business at the moment so can't get hold of it to give you the details, lots of great interior shots though. I'll get home a week on Monday, I'll update you then, unless someone else already has. Until then hope it goes well and turns out as good as the Wessex. Cheers MarkC
markc Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Hi Oz, Hope the lynx is coming on well, a week or so ago I promised you a book reference. Sorry for taking a while to get back to you on this one, clean forgot, memory is like a ... erm... what is it... these days. Anyway the book was Wings & Wheels Publications "Westland Lynx in Detail" "Present Aircraft Line No6". It covers all the Westland Lynx variants with around 18 shots covering cockpit and cabin of the AH7. Now that I've had another look at it the piccies are not as clear as I remember them, especially the rear cabin but may still be useful, not sure how good your own collection is. Don't know if this helps, will try to PM you with more details later Cheers MarkC Sieve... thats it!!!
OzH Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 Mark Thanks matey, don't worry about the delay, I do the same, er, I think... Ref the book, I managed to get a copie, very useful, I'm currently working on making the TOW controls, the eye piece is in the kit but the controls arn't. Thanks, on the road at the moment, will try and get some more pictures over the weekend.
markc Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 If you've got your own copy of the book, great, no need fro PM. Look forward to more pictures of progress soon. Cheers MarkC
OzH Posted February 21, 2008 Author Posted February 21, 2008 A few more progress shots. Most of the cockpit is finished, now just have to scratch build the TOW controls.
quarryman Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 looking good Oz, be interesting following this
OzH Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 Starting to look like a Lynx now! Initirior complete with scratch built TOW controls, trust me they're in there! Main assembly is now complete, just some filling to do.. I'm leaving the TOW tubes empty and off until after painting. Now onto the glazing.
Dave Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Very nice OzH. It might be the angle of the piccie but in the second from last shot the nose doesn't seem straight.
palacefan Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) I really want one of these! Looking great, especially with all the scratch stuff Oz. Edited February 27, 2008 by palacefan
OzH Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 Very nice OzH. It might be the angle of the piccie but in the second from last shot the nose doesn't seem straight. Dave I see what you mean and yes its the angle not the model!
Dave Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Thank God for that! Nice build and nice kit, I'm certainly tempted.
OzH Posted April 2, 2008 Author Posted April 2, 2008 Work has been getting in the way of modelling, bummer! Managed to get the glazing on. Belcher kindly supply to canopies, just in case you screw one up, well I managed to screw them both us, so this was the best of the two! Loads of Klear (left out to thicken for a night or two), super glue, tipex and even a bit of filler! Did some work on the antenna's and stuff, first up the AN/AKQ-144 infared jammer under the tail and the main rotor head
markc Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 It's looking great so far Oz. Keep up the good work I know what you mean about work and life getting in the way, in a similar situation at the moment not enough hours in the day. Keeping up to date on what's going on here is tough enough. Or maybe spending too much time here is part of the problem ..........Nahh Cheers MarkC
