Missiles usually take a long and somewhat tedious time to complete. As I wrote in my post on the Su-35S Flanker (here.), in my experience, the time it took to complete the underwing loads on this aircraft was completely disproportionate to the time required for the entire build.
No exceptions for these Sea Skuas, although this time I used decals where for the Flanker I had painted everything.
Sea Skuas missiles is what the Lynx carries in its anti-surface warfare configuration, which I chose to represent from the three offered in the kit.
Here a few shots
Another step towards completing the model are the main rotor blades: they are quite accurate to the real thing. They represent the BERP (British Experimental Rotor Programme) variant and were adopted on the HAS 8 and later versions of the Lynx. They sport a tip shaped like this.
The rotor attachment mechanisms and actuators are also acceptably reproduced despite their small size in 1/48 scale. The real thing:
The corresponding kit parts:
That’s all for now.
