Aw, look at the cute little Lynx

[Captain Canada]

Hey !

Finally, I have some helo support for my small ships ! Merlins are too big, Sea Kings are big and old..........but Lynx's are just right !



 

[cthulhu77]

Hehheh...are you going to detail the cockpit?

    neat little chopter...where did you pick that one up ?

                       greg

[Captain Canada]

Hey Greg,
  No way ! But I am gonna paint the windows ! I got them from my local hobby shop, they're White Ensign resin jobs w/ PE details. They're almost 8 British Pounds for three, but they'yr too cool !

 

[AeroplaneDriver]

I assume you wil be detailing the powerpant.  If not It's just another chunk of plastic....

 

[Captain Canada]

I'm actually gonna super-detail it...by attempting to drill out the exhausts !]




Also, the nose looks rather longish, like all the newer Lynx'. I'd like to find some good refs and try to file it down a little.

better use some 400 grit paper !!!  that is one tiny sucker!  looks good though, and worth the $$$$

A thought just struck me.  That thought was; "damn....that's a big bottle of beer..."

[Captain Canada]

I wish !

I've only got 4 or five in house....so I'm holding off having my first. But, if the bottle was that big.........



I just put a coat of primer on them, and they looked alot better before that ! Lots of dimples and mold lines......hard to get rid of as it's so easy to shave off the details.

Up on the flight deck of the Air Defence Corvette HMCS Chignecto.........



The pic doesn't do it justice........with the macro setting on the camera, you get too much detail. She actually looks really good in real life !

 

[The Rat]

Just add the 'No Step', 'Rescue', and other stencilling, some 'Remove before flight' tags, and she'll be looking like a winner!    

[cthulhu77]

notice he said "stenciling" not decals !!!!  looking good, brother !

[Captain Canada]

Sure Rat...easier said than done ! The pic makes it look alot bigger than it is.....

And here's the latest, on the ramp at RCNAS Shearwater, NS. Just waiting for Ensign Porter to arrive with the beer before we can take off, eh !



And nevster....look, I actually finishe done !

 

[retro_seventies]

[Ollie]

So, how many cases of 24 can you airlift in one go Toad?

She looks great!

[The Rat]

[yorkshire] BAH! Why, when I were a lad we would have cut side door off, scratch-built interior, and added seat belts.    [/yorkshire]

Sweet little chopper Captain!
