    Tworrs Revell 1/32 Westland Lynx MK8 (Peters helicopter GB 2022)

    Here is my just completed contribution to the helicopter GB that Peter kindly arranged.

    A very interesting build, which at times stretched my abilities, which I count as a good thing.
    The kit itself was pretty good, however I did find the instructions at times differed from the actual parts supplied, and it was interesting figuring it all out. The fit of the parts was for the most part very good, and to be fair any non-fitment was no doubt due to "user error".
    I had a really good time building this model, and in the process learned a lot of new skills, both from the members here, and web research.
    For only my second build in 50-60 years, I'm pretty happy with the result.

    Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                  Indeed a worthy winner of the canine testicular award....

                  It does beg one question though......where is John getting all these dogs from and what happens to them after they've been neutered...... Is John secretly trying to control the UK's dog population????

                  Just as observation...

                    Hi Garry
                    That's a very good result. You should be more than happy especially as it's only your second build in many years.
                    Jim
