The Westland Lynx
The Westland Lynx was conceived during the 1970s as a replacement for several rotary-wing aircraft used by the British military, with development undertaken in partnership with the French company Sud Aviation. From its early flights, the Lynx demonstrated impressive performance and manoeuvrability, going on to set numerous helicopter speed records.
Produced in different versions for both the British Army and Royal Navy, the Lynx performed a variety of roles and remained operational for four decades. This 1:48 plastic kit captures the Army AH-7 variant in a substantial 233-part build.
