modelman182 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 I'm in for sure - with this: made from this (which I picked up for a song at Telford last month): And I'm hoping to pick up two decal sheets (Serials and Roundels), three packs of PE (Interior, Exterior and Seatbelts) and a set of masks from my LHS tomorrow.

BradG Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Looks good, although I always thought the Lynx is kinda an ugly helicopter lol Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelman182 Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 Ha ha ... ALL Helos are ugly - reminds of an old adage about their flight capabilities - "Helicopters cannot fly - they're just so ugly that the Earth repels them!" Still - one needs some basis for appreciation of beauty (and I guess there are a few fixed wing aircraft that could also serve that purpose) But I'm gonna build it anyway Kev ps. thanks for the 'clue', Richard. And I think I may even have found the colour I think I need for this airframe - time will tell... BradG and LSP_Paul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelman182 Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 The last bits of the puzzle fall into place (thanks to my Local Model Shop) - Collected PE: Masks: and Decals: I now have no excuse NOT to start this beauty - except for the three "'small' scale planes" I have dotted around my workbench and spraydesk. A quick clear up this weekend and work should then commence. Kev mark31, LSP_Paul, LSP_Kevin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelman182 Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 And WE'RE OFF!... After what seems to have been an interminable delay work has been started on the Lynx. What with a nasty cold (insert generic term 'man-flu' here, if you so wish ), an impending change of employment (negotiations complete and change occurs 5-8 Jan 2018), some domestic disruption (an eviction of a nasty housemate was necessary), an overloaded work schedule (cos I was the only one who didn't go off sick!) and then Christmas and all its glorious shenanigans - I have been becoming somewhat frustrated in my attempts to actually get some modelling done. Finally (three weeks or more later) I have gotten into my sheds and made a start... ... albeit a VERY slow one. Stripped off the instruments, switches and panels from all the IPs ready for acceptance of the self adhesive IPs from Eduard. Also fitted some of the console PE panels and details around the floor of the cockpit. Lots more to do, including getting some paint on the cockpit prior to fitting the pre-painted panels. Used some new tools (acquired at Telford, from Paul at Modelling Tools) which I LOVE - the pickup tools for PE work a treat, and are a lot more positive than the cocktail stick with a blob of white tack Hope to get a bit more done later, but not going too wild as I have a 13Hr+ day starting at 6am tomorrow. Thanks for looking Kev Dragon, LSP_Kevin and LSP_Paul 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Thanks Mike Work has been driving me nuts (currently serving out my notice at a job and they are beginning to take the mickey with my schedule!) but I have managed to get a lot of my 'chores' done today, which will leave me with 3 whole days of undisturbed modelling (apart from a few small drinks around Midnight on Sunday, of course! ) Kev Dragon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
