HeavyArty Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Looking at pics of a British Army Lynx and the new 1/32 Revell Navy Lynx (HAS 3 boxing), is it possible to convert it into an army version? From my limited knowledge and looking at pics, it looks externally like all you would have to do is remove the front and rear wheels and rear wheel fairings, and add skids to it. Am I even close? This... into this... Edited July 2, 2013 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
norbert Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Hi Gino No sonobuoy hole, different tail (but could be in the box) different seat arrangement in the back, different IP, skids, differences over copilot's roof, different nose.... check also the blades. Do not forget the armament and eventualy the sand filters. You can check on britmodeller, there are several versions of army Lynxes. I'm doing the opposite job on my 1/35 kit. Well, long time I did not touch it Norbert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Harrier/Viper Fan Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Or get the Airfix 1/48 Army lynx? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Or get the Airfix 1/48 Army lynx? Only issue there is that I like to build in a larger scale; 1/32 and 1/35. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cezar Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Or / maybe just be patient ? There is a strong vibe about Revell releasing Army Lynx in 1/32 late next year. No, i don't have any real information nor contacts inside Revell but my information comes from the same source who told me about Sea Lynx two year before the official announcement. But hey, i my be mistaken. BTW, according to one of my friends who is a real Lynx guru, short of the skids and cockpit, there is enough parts between two Revell Lynx kits to put together Army version. But i'll wait for Revell.

That is what I have been wondering too. Maybe I'll just wait on it and see what materializes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
