Dave Williams Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Looks like the Revell HMA.8 version of the Lynx has finally been released. It’s been five years since their last boxing of the kit as the HAS.3, and long enough that the actual aircraft has gone out of service, but better late than never. Interestingly, the early boxings of the first release, the German Mk.88A, actually included a sprue with many HMA.8 parts, including the IP, Sea Owl turret, IRCM jammer, and the cabin rescue hoist (which could be used on the Mk.88A too). There were some parts missing in the Mk.88A kit that prevented you from just building a HMA.8 out of the box, though.

otis252 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Looks great, can't wait to get one. Looks like they've included the engine intake screens, although not sure how they're done. Chuck phantomdriver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Yes, parts H135 & H136 clear, according to the link you posted. It looks like a great kit, just wished it was Westland Whirlwind* or Sea King shaped.

wunwinglow Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Picked mine up yesterday, beautifully moulded in pale grey and clear, nice, but quite small decal sheet. All looks very familiar.... These Revell Helos are brilliant value for money, really nicely done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes, that must look pretty awful. For that reason alone, I wouldn't build this one. Any aftermarket options to address this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
