Matchbox Lynx

I didnt think this was the Mbox kit, thought it was Frog, something about the sliding door being v early or pre production version blah blah

i belive its OOP

i emailed the shop that passed that info onto me, they have 1 in stock left, email me direct if you want it, i asked them to put it aside for a few days incase thats why you asked about it

IIRC the Frog kit had the original 3-window cabin doors.

i knew something was differant.........

I you want the build the Lynx as a model, try the Airfix kit in 1/72. This kit is much better and also has been updated with the new rotorblades.

I have, i also have about 10 on the shelf by Airfix from old ones to the latest variant

I want the Matchbox ones so I can do the prototypes as it is the "cleanest kit of a Lynx you can get.

you get me emails? i have one reserved for you near me............i can post it today if you contact me quick

i have to say this but i have one of the matchbox lynx kits at home. it looks ok but you will need to use decals from elsewhere.

as others have said the airfix kits of the lynx are much better, though the one i made up [in brazillian markings] had a BADLY warped tail boom.

I have about 6 of the latest airfix reissue and most of the decal sheet was off register. the kit i did find warped but at Telford i found 2 of the Airwaves eith sets so will use one of those on my next builds........

Rory,

Revell amended the Matchbox moulds when they released the kit as the mk 88 - it now has the single window door of the production ones, rather than the three window of the prototype.

I'll have a look in the spares box. My three window doors may still be in there.

have you noticed how this problem with off register/ bad printing has cropped up quite a bit with airfix in recent years on their decal sheets? i have had several kits with duff sheets. still airfix's subject choice is often very good.
