I’m rocking and rolling with my build updates. Getting down to crunch time. Hahaha!!!

Klaus_Adler, yes…yes. Time is running out. I have a 3rd entry underway. An Airfix Westland Army Lynx in 1/72 scale. Hey, a gunship campaign sounds terrific. Looking forward to it.

TeeAge, no worries about finishing. Take your time and “No Pressure”.

Gary_Kato, nice work correcting the fit issue with your Cayuse cockpit.

Das ist Alles! Keep up the great work, Guys. Happy Holidays!!!

This is my 3rd entry for the campaign. An Airfix Westland Army Lynx in 1/72 scale.


Cool looking bird.

Nicely detailed cockpit. And my favorite…it comes with crew figures.

Main rotor completed without an issue.

Cockpit and crew painted.

Cockpit installed. No problems.

The fuselage halves needed a little clamping to fit together.

Nose piece, doors, exhausts, and skids attached.

Well that’s all for now. Keep up the fantastic work, Guys. Comments and questions are welcomed.

Very impressive with 3 builds Bill … I was happy with just the IAF Apache I did … the Lynx looks nice :+1:

Hi David, I just found out that I mistook the deadline as 1st of February 2024…my fault of course :face_with_hand_over_mouth:
Is there any chance for an extension?
Cheers Peter :raising_hand_man:

I’m sure i can sort something out, how long of an extension are you talking about?

Cool. If we get an extension, I might be able to get a 4th helicopter done. Already planned out. A firefighting Huey dropping its water barrage.

As Peter I have been indirectly responsible for tardiness in my build also. A conspiracy of life events including the fracture of a digit on my prime building hand


didn’t help so any extension (including B-17-peter’s) shall be greatly appreciated. :wink:

Cheers,
Jan :beers:

i can give a month’s extension but i think I’m pushing it if ask for 2, plus i would still need time to forward the medal rhat Petbat made for to Staff Jim so he can then attach them to the correct accounts.
in the old days i was able to take care of that myself.

Thank you, David, I think I’ll manage my build till 1st of February, so a one-month-extension would be fine for me :+1: :sweat_smile:

I echo the others in appreciation for the campaign extension. The firefighting Huey is definitely a completion possibility. Thank you.
