Westland Lynx HAS3 Gulf Killer conversion set (Airfix)

Conversion set to backdate Airfix Lynx HAS8

Westland Lynx HAS 3 Gulf War 'Killers' Conversion for Airfix Lynx HMA 8 kit


As you will know one of the biggest and most complex changes that is required to make the early conversion Lynx is that they used the metal blades. We have designed a system to enable you to modify the existing blades from the BERP to the metal blade. By doing this design it insures that there is still 100% rigidity in the blades i.e no bending of a resin blade over time. The design also means that you are able to modify the straight or the folded blades in the kit.

Other than the main rotor blades already described above, there is a complete new tail rotor, tail rotor gear box, tail plane, replacement engine covers, parts are included to enable the HAS 3 nose to be modeled, new stub wing (the reason behind making a new stub wing for the late style is that we have improved the deign to ease assembly and painting), ice detectors, pitot tube. For the interior a new over head console and wande light bar, replacement back wall with ‘broom cupboard’ and a small dinghy pack for the SAR role is included.

As can be seen we have supplied a cutting jig and an assembly jig to assist with the blade conversion.

Additional parts and decals are included to allow of the two famous Lynx 3 aircraft from the Gulf to be built.
