Next Project (maybe).

At the moment I'm trying to build up my Stash but I'm Champing at the Bit to start this one. Picked it up at Flying Legends at the Weekend.
Those nice people from Hannants where at the Show and I couldn't resist. Along with the Kit, it comes with Resin Cockpit and Wheel Wells, plus Two Frets of Photo Etch from Eduard. Would be nice to find a Napier Sabre Engine to go with it. Now comes the Research into MkV Tempests.

Revell 1/32 Westland Lynx HAS3 Conversion.

As ever we start in the Cockpit, I've Bought the Eduard Updates Sets (Interior and Exterior) for the Lynx but will have to make do with the Mk88 Interior as they don't make one for the Royal Navy Version I'm building, but this is Close enough Plus I'll do a little Scratch Building as I go along.
After a couple of days of Bending, Folding and Glueing this Is how we stand. Most of the Photo Etch Is on. I'll leave it for a day or so then start painting. As for the Nose of the Lynx, I'll have to cut it up to fit the Correct Equipment.
Or I may buy the Revell Mk88 and use the Nose out of that as it has the Radome on it and I'll only have to Scratch Build the Sea Owl.
