Hi Guys,
I'm after a kit for a Westland Lynx, the only one that I can find is a Royal Navy one - but I'm more after the Army Air Corp version - which is armed.
Does anyone know of such a kit?

thanks, but after a plastic injection kit rather than resin. That does look good though!

There was a Fujimi one as far as I remember and also an Airfix one in 1/72. Can't say anuthing about the quality though.

Yeah, it's the airfix one that I've found - but it's a Navy one with search equipment on instead of the 'proper' stuff.
Maybe, I'll just have to accept there isn't one about

Airfix did make an AAC version, armed with TOW missile tube's either side of the cabin. Cant remember the code number on the side of the box though, built two age's ago.

From memory the Matchbox 1:72 offering from 4,0000 years ago had parts for both versions, but I don't recall the army version being armed. Revell is reissuing a lot of the old Matchbox stuff, so keep an eye out there.

Thanks guys, I bought a Hasegawa Apache instead today to fill the void until I can find one I like.

Yeah, I'd seen that one - thanks mate. I think after looking around I'd really prefer a 1:48 one as the 72 would just be a bit too small.
Thanks anyhoo.
