Matchbox 1/32 Lysander

[Simon Cornes]

I have been gifted a part built kit but I wondered if you could recommend any reference material? I am particularly interested in the cockpit and engine areas. A question. The cockpit framework is all in square section. I would expect a tubular framework but were Matchbox right?

Thanks

The Haynes Lysander manual is absolutely excellent

And you won;t find a better build thread than this one to help you get the detailing right. It's of the Hawk / Testors 1/48 kit but if you follow in Hendie's brave footsteps you won't go far wrong.

Thanks Guys, of course I posted this before searching the Walk Around Section on this site! I can see from that there is indeed box section in the fuselage frame but also conventional tubular construction so the answer is 'both' !! Thanks for the references to other builds, I was toying with buying a Gavla/Eduard kit as I bet that's got excellent interior detail!
