(ex)Sgtrafman Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Hi everyone For my next project I’ll be building Eduards 1/48 Lysander Mk III. ...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 Iain 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 My scale, if not Naval so not my main focus - but who doesn't love a Lizzie? You got me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAA Lysander, gunnery spotter with folding wings? Every carrier should have one. Or, how about a catapult launch? Wild! Sorry, Iain. Please carry on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 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! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 This is two years old but the Lysander build by a certain chap called Hendie could be worth more than a passing glance. https://s20.postimg.cc/af4bfycn1/PC250001.jpg There is an awful lot of information in there that could be useful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Iain 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 For others, here's Hendie's build of the Hawk kit from the 1960's. I have some reading to do (32 pages? Heck!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomoshenko Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Tomo - Glad to have aboard mate.

clive_t Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 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! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
