Porsche Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Following on from my previous submission of the Swordfish, I thought it might be enjoyable to construct something else with folded wings (although preferably without any rigging!) So, once again, I stepped out of my comfort zone and I decided on making a Helicopter. I chose the Lynx and decided to flood it with after market goodies. I used the BigEd set and the scalewarship rotor fold set. In addition I carried out lots of scratch building detail including the mesh guards over the engine intakes (I'm not very happy with those and will probably put covers over them at a later date) I kept the weathering to a minimum on this kit as I found little evidence of them being unduly weathered whilst in operation?

Supersonic Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Very nice Lynx . Helicopters ( especially european )are unfortunately a bit underrepresented in this forum . I do not understand this . Maybe a good Mojo for some to start a helo ! Stefan GreyGhost and Kagemusha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pe set took a long time and, in retrospect, there are items that I used that I wouldn't bother with again. The wing fold set needs careful planning but the kit went together easily. One thing I would add is that it's practically impossible to pick up without knocking something off!
