It is coming along great. Keep up the good work.


Thanks Gino it is a nice kit and a fun build with lots of parts . Sure wish Revell Germany would do an H-34 in 32nd scale!

An H-34 in 1/32 would be most welcomed. A 1/32 British Army Lynx would be nice too.

it looks like they could do one with the parts that are included in the kit. lots of stuff that does not go on a sea Lynx, the multifaceted IR suppressor for one.

I decided to fold the rotor blades so I got the 1/48th scale Airfix parts to use as a guide.

Doug, you truly are an artist. I should like to see you offer a tutorial on your painting tools and technique. Especially your approach to IP painting. Those are amazing!!!

Well done!!!

thanks Sebastian, the fit was not bad, there are a lot of parts that are there because of all the different versions that they are going to do so it gets a little weird in the build.

I was putting this part off because it is the one thing that I wish they had done another way. The intake screens are just clear parts and look bad so I dremeled them out very carefully and will now put screen in the holes. it has been a little bit of work so far

That's not something you can easily fit a piece of photo-etch over, is it? What a great solution!
