discussion Wendalls 1/48 Airfix Lynx HMA.8 with BigEd

[Wendall]

A quick update. Its beginning to look less like a never ending pile of plastic and photoetch and a little more like a Lynx.


Still very impressed with this kit and the Eduard etch; I had a bit of fun shoehorning the interior assembly in place, I cant emphasise enough the importance of dry fitting everything, the tolerances are soooo tight.


I'm hoping it should progress a bit faster now.

I've been slowly getting on with the Lynx. The Interior isn't too far off now, still quite a bit of PE left but all of the painting is done. It would be nice to get the fuselage buttoned up this week.

Just a small observation Jason, but will you paint the top of the hand held fire extinguisher a brass colour?


Looking great with the etched brass add ons.

Cheers Rick. Luckily I noticed that after I posted the images and remembered to dab a bit of dull brassy colour on it before I glued the thing together.


Tell you what though, there's so much to ing and fro ing between the Airfix and Eduard instructions I've had to start keeping a snagging list otherwise I am bound to miss something.

That interior looks the dogs doo-dahs Jason! I've put this kit on my to-do list from watching your build!
