Merlin HC3 Airfix 1/48 Afganistan

[Guest]

This should keep me busy during the winter.

Airfix. Looking at the sprue instructions etc this has the looks of a Tamiya. Hope so as it looks a very exciting model. Month of Sundays for the decals never seen so many.

Hope to keep posted with progress.

From all I have seen and read, you will not be disappointed. By all accounts a great build.

I look forward to seeing this come together as I have one on my "to buy" list.

One thing I have read is that the instructions can be a bit iffy and need careful studying.

Hi Laurie. Having done the new Airfix 1/48 Lynx in the GB i was looking at this one, so will watch you if you don't mind

[Guest]

Very nice helicopter the Lynx Ian.

Live in a block of flats with a grassed area on the frontage. 10 weeks ago a Lynx flew in below our balcony level & landed on the grass. Very spectacular. Allowed to get in have a look & took loads of photos. Got ot build soon as they gave out A3 photos & mine is looking down on me.

That looks like a very complicated little kit. That is also a lot of decals. The stencils on modern aircraft beggar belief!

No pop corn here. I've just stuck a roast in the oven!

Cheers

Uncle Laurie!

I too am not a popcorn eater.

Is this kit a new tooling?

[Guest]

Do believe "young" Aidan that it was released beginning of this year.

Actually Aidan I suspect that you are more of a Kit Kat eater or second guess Doughnuts.

In that case, unc,you'll love it. I'm building the new tooling lancaster and it fits together like a dream! Loving it!

Kit kat? Doughnuts? I must be a very boring person!!!!!

What happened to the build thread Aidan. I was enjoying that.

Back on subject..

I was going to build this for the chopper GB but things got in the way...
