Florian H.
🙂 Looking for updates. When the build is going on, can you tell something about the fit of the kit?
30 July 2015, 07:31
Augie
Hi Florian, Build is ongoing at the moment.

So far the fit is.. tight.. everything fits perfectly sometimes too perfect
30 July 2015, 09:10
Augie
Quick update.. some of the interior pieces as they are now.. most have needed fettling during dry fitting to allow the sides to close properly.

Its well engineered kit

30 July 2015, 11:41
Holger Kranich
Guido, what Kind of a game is that? Are you kidding me?😢
30 July 2015, 11:49
Kerry COX
Augie, Good to see you nimble fingers back in the groove mate, and it's very impressive what you have done so far. 🙂 👍
30 July 2015, 11:50
Augie

Holly, the one I got was a ebay special with only a single UK Army example of decals
30 July 2015, 11:53
Augie

30 July 2015, 11:58
Holger Kranich
R4S14- Beer? Check!
Popcorn? Check!
Smelling Humbrol? Check!
Added a needle to Guido´s seat when he goes peeing? Check!
Listening to the "imperial death march" whilst watching ASMS? Check!

Ok i´m good to go - Lets see a Lynx arise from Augies towel-bench-of-hell! 😄😄
30 July 2015, 13:05

Kerry, when you say "brush" i cant help but it sounds nasty!😢
30 July 2015, 14:56
Augie
LOL guys 😄 mad the lot of you😉

Pavel, that is perfect! спасибо. Это заставило меня смеяться
30 July 2015, 15:23
Kerry COX
Holger, I was referring to the fact that Augie is just the best with a brush, and NO nasties, just my sense of humour that got lost in the translation.:-/
30 July 2015, 22:27
Augie
hehe its ok guys you were both on the right directions worry not either of ya 😄
30 July 2015, 22:45
Kerry COX
Your our hero Augie. 🙂 👍
30 July 2015, 23:36
Augie
Further work on the insides, going to have to scratch some wiring thats missing this could end up being a bigger build than I planned.
31 July 2015, 07:40
Holger Kranich
Isnt it always the same? You think: "Hmmm, that will gonna be a quick build..." And two years later you have finished the interior...LOL 😄
31 July 2015, 08:04
Augie
Lol yeah can be.. i doint mind tho.. gives me an excuse on this one to see how far i can go.. or want to go before going crazy lol
31 July 2015, 08:06

I watched a TV program about the Lynx last night, it is really an awesome machine. I didn't know they could roll and loop the darn thing, that is just wild.
28 August 2015, 23:47
Choppa Nutta
.... Also held the world speed record for a helicopter since 1986 when a specially lightened Westland Lynx managed 249 mph which has recently been broken this year. First by the Sikorsky X2 in 2010 and more recently Eurocopter's X3 with speeds of 288 mph and 293 mph respectively.

29 August 2015, 13:15
Clifford Keesler

9 September 2015, 22:56
Kerry COX
Looking smart and tidy Augie. I must as what type of brush you use, be it sable, camel hair or something else, as you get the best finish to your work. 🙂
10 September 2015, 02:29
Clifford Keesler
Looking awesome as always.
12 September 2015, 00:11
Augie
Lol thanks guys...

Need to sort the gap at bottom of the screen..

Kerry, I use oddly nothing particularly special, Tamiya modelling brushes.. mainly the flat ones.
12 September 2015, 12:17
Kerry COX
Augie, I really thought you had a secret weapon when it came to your painting skills. Thanks for that, and I have more respect for your skills now I know what you use.
Great stuff . 🙂 👍
12 September 2015, 21:02
Augie
Lol Sorry kerry.. just my hands an those brushes...🙂
13 September 2015, 00:04

13 September 2015, 09:27
Kerry COX
If you need motivation, just take a look at all your albums you have posted here. 🙂
Mojo moments. 🙂
Something to be proud of Augie. ;-/
All 97 of them. 🙂
13 September 2015, 09:45
Augie

Choppa Nutta

13 September 2015, 13:02
Kerry COX
Yeah, They are fantastic. 🙂 👍
13 September 2015, 13:32
Choppa Nutta
..... yeah, I have just got Hasegawas fat little Zero and it is soooo cute 😄
..........and you can pretty well just build it and then paint it 🙂
if you are a skilled brush painter using acrylics you could probably do one in an evening😉
13 September 2015, 13:50
Augie
lol yeah maybe 🙂
13 September 2015, 15:27
Calvin Gifford
Very neat! I need to pick up and build a 1/72 Lynx.
18 September 2015, 23:20
Augie
Oh lots more to do Calvin, but thank you 🙂
18 September 2015, 23:31
Kerry COX
What in particular do you mean by "Lots" Augie.?
I am assuming (A bad thing to do) that you mean all the little details your noted for. 🙂 !
18 September 2015, 23:49
Augie
Lol hey Kerry,

Its got a few internal details to do.. lots of external items.. decals.. weathering.. 🙂
19 September 2015, 08:39
Kerry COX
Ah, just those annoying little things that make all the difference. Yeah. 🙂 !
19 September 2015, 09:29
Augie
hehe well yeah.. and of course actually putting all the parts on.. helps lol
19 September 2015, 12:06
Kerry COX

19 September 2015, 12:48

19 September 2015, 16:03
Augie
Further wee update on this one, doing little bits in amongst other things
4 October 2015, 16:53
Choppa Nutta
... shaping up nicely Augie, you should do a video tutorial on how paint with a brush properly 🙂
4 October 2015, 17:21
Augie
Lol thanks choppa 🙂 its not hard to do it.. just a question of knowing paint and best brushes
4 October 2015, 17:31
Choppa Nutta
so you say, but I've tried and struggled with it, my bro on the other hand did it almost straight away, with Airfix paints and brushes no less..... anyhow, thought I would say 😄
4 October 2015, 18:27
Kerry COX
Augie, I agree with Choppa, and a short vid would really be the icing on the cake about how you get such great results, and an inspiration for those who cant afford an air brush mate. 🙂 👍
As always, your results are wonderful to see. 🙂 👍
4 October 2015, 20:01
Augie
ok red faced am i now 🙂
4 October 2015, 22:41
Choppa Nutta
and a little bit Yoda-ish judging by your grammar, haha 😄
anyhow, no time for false modesty😉
we wants our video my precious, yes we does 🙂
4 October 2015, 23:10
Kerry COX
A video you will do. 🙂
5 October 2015, 01:37
Clifford Keesler
I agree with Choppa and Kerry. I often find myself wondering how you get such nice finishes with a brush.
5 October 2015, 01:45
Choppa Nutta
we wants it we does 😄
5 October 2015, 17:28
Augie
So been doing further work to this.. had to pop the windscreen off.. forgot many cockpit details.. cyclic, collective, panel.. oops
13 November 2015, 22:52
Kerry COX
Ah, ! Just the necessities of flight, but I do that all the time. lol 🙂
But I am wondering if you used a clear glue, like 'clear fix' originally to allow you to do these repairs. ?
14 November 2015, 01:15
Augie
hi kerry, I had so its not major surgery thankfully
14 November 2015, 09:27
Kerry COX
I am so pleased to know that Augie, as it is no fun once the permanent gluing is done.🙂 👍
It is coming along nicely my friend. 👍
14 November 2015, 10:15
Augie
Thanks Kerry, its getting there slowly but surely..
14 November 2015, 18:35
Kerry COX
Thank goodness you were able to repair/correct your issues without any visible scars happening, and from the latest images, all is looking good from here on for you.🙂 🙂 👍 👍
Much happiness mate.🙂
