Westland Lynx AH7
« on: November 26, 2020, 01:55:02 PM »
This is a conversion kit from Air Graphic Models using the Airfix Lynx as the donor aircraft.
I think this ma y be a slow build. Plenty of resin parts for the conversion and the detail looks good.

That will keep you busy in tier 3, like the rest of us in the East Riding.

Welcome to the wonderful world of resin!! Lots to keep you busy there.
For reference the latest AviationMegastore newsletter lists a Scaleworx Resin models conversion set for the Belgian Army Augusta A109BA using the Revell kit as donor in future releases and the Atlantis Productions AH-56A Cheyenne back in stock, both 1/72scale. Something to get from Santa?

Yes I think there is going to be most of the donor kit left in the spares box.
The Cheyenne had a few crashes and was a complex machine.

Fuselage halves cut down as per the instructions. I think a bit of filler may be required on assembly.

Nearly. Having difficulty getting the cabin roof on. Requires a bit more fettling.
