Hi,
The Lynx is an armoured infantry fighting vehicle developed by the German company Rheinmetall . Landsysteme GmbH. The Lynx combat vehicle family represents the latest generation of combat vehicles: it has strong active and passive protection, armament and a number of advanced sensor and reconnaissance systems that enable rapid situational awareness in combat. The Lynx is a versatile combat vehicle with a modular design. This means that the roof armor and the various gun turrets and equipment that fit it can be removed and replaced at the same time . The Lynx can be transformed from an armored personnel carrier (IFV) to a casualty transporter in just a few hours of assembly work.
The Lynx infantry fighting vehicle was first presented in KF31 configuration on June 14, 2016, and the KF41 version on June 12, 2018, at the Eurosatory defense exhibition. The first operator of the Lynx KF41 is the Hungarian Defense Forces, the first serially produced copy of which was officially handed over on October 25, 2022.
(source Wikipedia )
To my knowledge, the Hungarian LYNX has only been released in model form by the Hungarian company Armada Hobby. I received a copy from the manufacturer to build and present.
Before the construction, I drew the 4-color camouflage patch map based on photos found on the internet, which is almost the same for all vehicles. After the priming, I sprayed the entire vehicle with brown (I did not note the exact color mixing ratio). After the color modulation, I masked out the brown spots. After this, the yellow color followed using the same method (I lightened it from 2nd VH Hungarian yellow) and then the dark gray shade (RAL 7016). After all three colors and their masking were applied, I sprayed the entire vehicle with NATO Green.
After removing the masks, I determined that the paint job met my expectations, since the manufacturer does not include stickers with the kit, so I masked off and sprayed the Hungarian wedges on the tower, and a yellow diamond on the left side of the body, as well as the license plates. I cut out the numbers and letters for the license plate and the yellow diamond from the remaining stickers.
Before the varnishing, the surface was still nice and matte, so I used Ammo Shader to create the shading. Then the vehicle received a coat of varnish and I used enamel to do the needle wash. I softened the colors on the surface with oil paint and highlighted the higher parts with light.
I painted the tracks gray and washed them with Trackwash enamel. After drying, I painted the rubber pads with tire color and gave them a minimal lightening by dry brushing.
The prisms and optics with chrome and after drying, painted them with transparent green and blue colors.
I didn't want to show any wear and rust on my vehicle at all, so I just sprayed dirt and mud imitation on the lower parts with liquid pigment , and "drew" dirt stripes on it with AK watercolor pencils.
The base is the Polish White Stork Miniatures product, on which I scratched the traces of multiple potholes in accordance with Hungarian roads . The plants are a few tufts of grass and the Model Scene's photo-etched thistles
Thank you for your attention!
