Wildcat conversion

[chriswil42]

Just started this conversion. Looking through all the parts I think I'll be using a few parts from the donor kit (an Airfix one); some of the glazing, wheels and oleos, parts of the rotor hub. There'll be plenty of parts going into the spares box.

Hi Chris,
I suppose that you have an Airfix Lynx in your "substantial" stash to make this project work.
On the plus side, the spares box will get a boost.
Watching with interest.

That's a good one Chris, looks interesting.
Airfix will bring one out before the end of the year now.

Don't upset him.........
But you're probably right.

Knowing my luck they'll issue it at the end of the month. I have a second one to build as well.

[Bigkev]

Double cursing then........

Just think of the FUN you will have building this one and the next befor Airfix bring a new model out

Modelling IS fun isn't it?

Main cabin assembled. Tail and engine housing glued together.
Lots of filling to do.

Nose added. Second photo shows the filling and blending to be done.

Looks like a major surgical job Chris and quite a bit of fettling to marry the resin and plastic bits.
