1/48 Westland Lysander Mk III


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone

 

For my next project I’ll be building Eduards 1/48 Lysander Mk III.

Created with Photo Editor- http://axiem.net/editor

...This one will be OOB as you get everything that you need in the box. The only change I’ll probably make is to redo the Sutton Harness in tape as I really don’t like the metal alternatives.

 

Cheers

if not Naval so not my main focus - but who doesn't love a Lizzie?

So why not a Whiff? FAA Lysander, gunnery spotter with folding wings?

Every carrier should have one. Or, how about a catapult launch? Wild!

Sorry, Iain. Please carry on.

Ordered. I panicked when I saw ‘discontinued’ and ‘rare’ on some listings. Or it may be the wine...

Now I’m watching with invested interest! :)

Right on! There is something quintessentially British about a Lysander - I just hope I can do it justice?

Good man - its not a bad little kit, not much to it and the fit seems pretty good...not that I've done much yet :D

 

Cheers all

Cheers mate - I'm going to make a proper start after we've been for a spot of breakfast down Perranporth and I've done my household chores (Boo!)

This is two years old but the Lysander build

by a certain chap called Hendie could be worth

more than a passing glance.

There is an awful lot of information in there that could be useful.

I knew I’d seen another Lysander somewhere....thanks for the reminder 😀

Hey CC - Yes the Eduard kit is a Gavia repop and glad to have you along. I’m not too sure which one I’ll do yet.

 

Sorry gents I don’t have any progress pictures for you even though I have spent a few hours on it today - there really isn’t anything to show.

 

I’m off up country tomorrow so I wont be doing any modelling for a little while.

 

Cheers

For others, here's Hendie's build of the Hawk kit from the 1960's. I have some reading to do (32 pages? Heck!) :)

Thanks CED - I was looking for that earlier and couldn't find it :D

As per Ced's comments, not my scale but it's a Lizzie so I'm in, plus it really does look a nice kit.

Hey Tomo - Glad to have aboard mate.

 

I was looking through Youtube and found this 3 part build of the Eduard  Lizzie...

..Watch it muted and its quite informative.

Watching also with interest, I don't have one in my stash (yet) but I remember building a 1:72 scale one as a kid. On my wish list now, right next to the Buffalo!
