i really enjoyed this kit for some reason ive been avoiding airfix as in my twisted little mind i see them as "toys" maybe because thats all i knew as a kid.
but this kit has changed my mind and i really didnt think it would come out so well.






i have added detail to this lynx from our friends at eduard

enjoy

That is a thing of beauty, well done.
Just 1 question if I may?
How did you tint the upper glass panels?

Paul,
Strictly from a modelers point of view, and not a Helicopter modeler specifically (of which I'm not), your Lynx build came out spectacular. A solid build, perfect paint, and outstanding weathering. A build really well done.
