STEPS 54-60 The main gear legs are fine in the kit. For the Dutch Lynx, new resin stubwings were made (see here...) with no large ECM fairings. The parts #47,48,49,50 are not required when using these. The cover parts #53+54 will fit after some sanding. Sometimes parked Dutch Lynxes have their main wheel at a 45 degree angle turned. If you want this, as indicated in STEP 56, cut off the tiny fitting lugs to enable turning the leg with the main wheel to 45 degrees. I kept the gear in a straight position. Note that Dutch Lynx SH-14D had a
Radar Warning Receiver fitted at the end of the stubwing fairing. Sand
flat each resin stubwing end and fit a small circular piece of card for
the RWR. (for a very early Lynx stubwing, simply use the resin casted stubwing).
STEPS 61-63
STEP 64
To fit each new resin stubwing, it
is required to remove the rear section of each fitting lug to get a good
fit. In the resin stubwing parts, the lug gap was partly moulded in to
help with alignment and to get a stronger joint.
Use superglue to fit the new stubwings,
fill any gaps with filler and sand smooth.
1/ remove each tailrotor blade with
a razorsaw at the inner joint near the shaft.
3/ sand of each tail rotor blade the
"cut-out" area a bit more accurate for the older style blade.
Note that the blades are mirrored on an old style tailrotor (so fit it the other way round) 4/ reduce the lengths of the aisle part #234 and #235 by about 3 mm each. This because there is a tailrotopr fairing on the top of the rotorfin fitted previously. 5/ fit the shortened aisle parts #234 + 235 thus at the OTHER side of the adapted tail rotor! 6/ fit the lever collective part #88 The result is seen here:
