Hello,
Just have finished this and I'd like to share with you.
First as usual, couple things about the kit. i was really really surprised when I first open the box. First glance on some pieces, mainly the fuselage and the cabin and only thing I could say was "wow!". The "wow" factor ended couple steps later. Don't get me wrong, most of the kitis really amazing. Great detail, a lot of rivets and nice panel lines, but when I get to the engine cowling I was shocked. I've looked on different websites to see if real Lynx has this section completely flat, as on this kit.. Well it still looked good. then I went to fitting the main canopy and beautiful 1mm gap appeared! I've managed to fill it with some putty, but I don't really like surprises like this. I don't mind some gaps, but this one was way too big. Other disappointment was engine intake cover which should be a mesh, but in the kit is made with clear plastic. I scratch build it with some old PE leftovers.
The kit gives you couple options of the aircraft to build. I decided to build anti-piracy Danish version. I kind like it I must say.
I've installed an internal light to lighten up the cabin a bit. It was just a try before my general and main project for this year and it worked fine.
Ok, no more talking, there come the pictures:
