Nice job mate! :) :thumb1: :thumb1: :clap:

Did the soldiers come with the kit, or did you buy those separately? And, will you be putting them all into a diorama with the Chopper?

Cheers :cheers2:

Hi Martin
Yes the troops came with the Lynx
Strangely there was no pilots included so strictly the Lynx would need to be on the ground
I'm not good at dioramas but maybe sometime as I've also got the 1/48 Merlin and a Jackal.
Maybe something at Camp Bastion

Helicopter looks great! Like the troops too, nice work.
I'm thinking of getting this set for my brother, how did you find it? Much cleaning, sanding or not?
Did you use provided paint?
Sir, we're surrounded!
Excellent! Now we can attack in any direction!
