Title: Lynx HAS3
Post by: chriswil42 on May 06, 2021, 03:11:22 PM

Contrary to what it says on the box this is the reboxed Lynx HAS2 with new decals. This will be modified into the HAS3 using the Airwaves conversion kits shown (new orange crop radar sensors, BERP blades and Seaskua missiles).

Fuselage now together. No working on a bit of brass on the conversion.

Progress. Most of the white metal conversion bits on. The fuselage is almost complete. Sea skua missles and racks to be added.

Hi Chris,
Nice work. Looks like the Navy might need your Lynx to help out against the Russians.
Cheers,

Another shade of grey. Almost ready for decals.

Are they grey too. That would be great camouflage!

Title: Re: Lynx HAS3
Post by: Bigkev on August 03, 2021, 08:41:56 PM

Hi Zak,

They are already on,

That camouflage is really good.

C'mon Chris, put us out of our misery.

The decals are not going to be grey - I think. Still sorting some out and deciding which to use. I imagine this could be a mix and match.

I've decided that the engine intakes are totally wrong from the mod kit, so I've removed them and I am now in the process of moulding some more. Moulds made from impressions of parts from anther kit.  This one is going to take a while to finish.

Aaaah! I've been there with other kits.
You know when something does not look right, can you live with it, or do something about it.
Hats off to you Chris for doing the latter.
A bit longer build isn't a bad thing, to make a model your happy with.

Engine intakes remoulded. Just some paint touch-ups to do then the decals.

Title: Re: Lynx HAS3

Nearly there.

Title: Re: Lynx HAS3
Post by: chriswil42 on September 04, 2021, 01:07:49 PM

Complete at last. The decals are a mixture of those that came with the kit, some Target decals and Model Art decals.
