Hobby Boss 87236 Royal Navy Lynx HAS.2 1/72

Hobby Boss 87236 Royal Navy Lynx HAS.2 is a high-quality plastic model helicopter in 1:72 scale, designed for modeling enthusiasts who want to recreate an authentic British anti-submarine warfare helicopter. The model is manufactured by the renowned Hobby Boss company, valued for its detail precision, realistic depiction of structural elements, and ease of assembly.

Royal Navy Lynx HAS.2 is the maritime version of the iconic Lynx helicopter, which entered service with the British Royal Navy in the late 1970s. The aircraft was widely used during the Cold War—both in the North Sea and during the Falklands War (1982), where it played a key role in anti-submarine missions, reconnaissance, and surface ship protection. It was characterized by great versatility, agility, and the capability to carry both torpedoes and Sea Skua anti-ship missiles. The HAS.2 variant was a cornerstone of the Royal Navy's air force up until the 1990s, symbolizing modernity in the British helicopter fleet.
