Finished the Lynx at last.
Not sure if it’s just me being a bit out of practice, but various things went wrong… the wheels all started leaning in for some reason, needing straightening up with the help of a hair dryer. I broke the end of the M2 barrel, irreparable, but replaced with a nice metal one, like the M1919 barrel, from Master-Model.pl.
As the tracks and wheels are so weak I’ve attached it to the base with the cocktail stick I used to hold it while painting. I thought gluing that into a hole drilled through the base sounded so easy… but apparently not.
I used the Star Decals M113 in the Balkans sheet for the tiny Canadian flags and tiny numbers. Quality was lower than I expected with them being quite thick and the flags off register. Black maple leaf was a cut-out stencil.
Anyway, I’m fairly happy with it, I think a big improvement over the original resin kit which had no gun mounts to speak of, even if the shape of the whole thing is not quite right.
