Mexican Lynx 30/12 All done!

Certainly not Mack, I agree

I'll follow with a huge interest just because I almost bought this model 3 or 4 times

Ok, having had a good drool over the kit I'm really impressed with the quality and finesse of it. Everything is very sharp with almost no flash or knock out marks. I'll start with my only gripe and that's the colour options. You get one Argie version and four Mexican versions, the Argie one has a full all sides illustration and that's the only bugger in a single colour! All the others are just a one side view so working out the other side pattern is a pain. Why tiger do this I don't know but I wish they wouldn't.



However apart from that everything else is superb. The decals are really crisp as is the small etch fret and the clear parts are, well clear! There are two sets of springs for the suspension and a set of stickers which I've worked out are for attaching to your sprues for easy identification. Very handy that.



In the kit are the usual rubber tyres as well as injection ones so you have a choice which is great. Both sets have nice details and makers markings in this case "michelin" and no seams to try to clean up on the rubber ones.







The hull, turret and the rest of the parts are all nicely done and the barrel is a single piece with just a seam line to remove.











A really neat little package I think & I'll be starting in anger this evening

Has to be a digital scheme then?
I’ll just move along now...

Even the unbuilt tub looks cool

This looks darned fine indeed .
Wish I had bought now too

I'm now getting stuck in and have followed the instructions, well sort of and started with the turret. A few improvements have been made as well as some missing weld beads added with stretched sprue. The barrel looks awesome with that chuffing great muzzle on it! I've also started on the hull and a bit of filler is needed on the rear plates to blend them in on the sides. The suspension has the option of usual molded springs and assemblies or metal springs. I went for the springs as it meant less clean up. It's not workable but they do look very good. I've also had a look at the plastic tyres, they go together well but the tread pattern is wrong for the version I'm doing. Maybe they are for later versions so I'll use the rubber tyres instead.

That does look very nice indeed fella

Cheers chaps, plugging away on the model with some slight improvements and a drop of filler here and there. Nice kit to build though.
