Hi

I just bought the kit from MPK so I would hope it would be a production
release. Yes, the tracks were HKCW but after I had completed one side, I
found that there were not enough left over to do a full run for the other
side.

Anyway, the kit does need some mods. These are the ones I have found so
far:

front fenders need reshaping
need "O" bracket for night sight
commanders hatch needs to be bigger
smoke launcher holders need to be rounded
non-skid surface needs to be applied
lights need to be moved back

It does build up nice as is so please do not get me wrong, it is a great
little kit.

Here is the walkaround that I have: http://www.thot.net/~trea/Lynx/LYNX.HTM
I also have eight shots of the LYNX that was refurbished for display at the
Camp Borden armour collection

HTH

Tom,

The first shipment came without wheels and tracks (saw some at Azimut's).
Azimut
did not sell this first shipment, waiting for the missing parts instead. I
just
waited a bit and got a kit with the full contents, tracks are HCKW's.

Cheers,
Christophe
