Revell 03806 Westland Sea Lynx Mk.88A "40 Years" 1/32

Revell 03806 Westland Sea Lynx Mk.88A "40 Years" in 1/32 scale is an exceptional plastic model kit, faithfully replicating the British multi-role naval helicopter in the Mk.88A version. This model was developed to commemorate the 40th anniversary of this machine's service in the colors of the German Navy (Marineflieger), for which the British company Westland Helicopters is responsible. The Westland Sea Lynx is a helicopter that entered service at the end of the 1970s—the Mk.88A variants were primarily operated from 1981, proving themselves during the Cold War and in contemporary times.

Sea Lynx Mk.88A helicopters were used by Germany, but also by, among others, the United Kingdom, France, Denmark, Portugal, and Brazil. Their applications included a wide range of missions: from search and rescue (SAR), through anti-submarine warfare, to patrol and reconnaissance tasks. The model features unique jubilee paint schemes used on special editions commemorating 40 years of operation.
