About product

Resin wipers for the Westland Lynx (Quickboost, 1:48)

A small resin set of windscreen wipers for a model of the British Westland Lynx helicopter in 1:48 scale. It is not a helicopter model — it is an accessory that replaces one of the most thankless parts of the whole build. In reality wipers are thin rods; in injection-molded plastic they come out as thick as a cable and on the glazing of a cockpit that shows at first glance. The product name specifies the set for the Lynx kit from Airfix.

Why replace the wipers in particular

The cockpit of the Lynx is largely glazed and the viewer's eye goes to it automatically. A resin casting manages the profile and the sharpness an injection mold cannot for technological reasons — the wiper arm is delicate, with fine ribbed detail. It is a job of a few minutes with a disproportionately large effect on the overall impression of the model.

How to go about it

  • Wash the castings in water with detergent before painting to get rid of the mold release agent.
  • Cut the casting block off with a sharp knife or a fine saw — the parts are tiny, so work over a tray so they do not fly away.
  • Do any sanding wet and with airway protection; resin dust must not be inhaled.
  • Ideally paint them while still on the block and then simply set them on the model.
  • Glue them with cyanoacrylate — apply a minimum so it does not run onto the glazing.
  • Glue the wipers on at the very end, after clear coating and applying the decals.

Who the accessory is for

For modelers building the Lynx in 1:48 scale who want the area around the cockpit clean and convincing. Even a moderately advanced builder can manage it — it just takes patience and fine tools.

An accessory for a model, not a stand-alone kit. The helicopter model, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. The package holds only the resin wipers; you have to have your own helicopter model in 1:48 scale from the Airfix kit.

At the very end, after clear coating and applying the decals. Use a minimum of cyanoacrylate so it does not run onto the glazing.

With parts this small it is mainly a matter of patience: wash off the mold release agent, cut the casting block off with a sharp tool and do any sanding with airway protection.
