discussion Completed Westland Lynx (Matchbox - 1:72 scale) Vintage 40+ yrs old!

Here are the final pics, and a short video of the final completed model of the little Westland Lynx Chopper, in its Royal Navy blue livery and decals.
I decided on yellow Torps as in a few reference photos I saw the Torps seem to come in many colours, including yellow, and as the rotors have yellow, it sort of matches!
Was quite a nice kit to build, bearing in mind its age, I did not really note any significant issues, all went together well IMHO.

Short YT video of completed build.

Nice one. I remember building this when I was a kid. I do like a vintage Matchbox.

Yep, just decided to do a basic build and paint on this one, no weathering, well some very slight chipping to few edges, but thats it. Simple....
