CedB Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I seem to be building 1/48 at the moment - it won't last. During my Spitfire Night Fighter build Hendie asked if I would do the Lysander next. We aim to please… Boxart: (Ignore the ankles) Of course this isn't the first Lizzie I've built - for some reason it's one of my favourite aircraft and was one of the first models I built when I returned to the hobby. Here's my previous attempt on the ceiling: Had to get the step ladder out for that. Not my real ladder... Awful isn't it? Bronze collector ring (sorry Chris) and something I was to learn was the blight of all modellers, silvered transfers: I was going to choose another scheme from the five available but MAB is soooo memorable. That said I'm a bit sick of black at the moment... I shall ponder. Hendie built a Hawk kit a while ago so I'll be reading that later. Not that I'm raising my bar that high. Iain also started this kit but it seems to have stalled in April? Worrying... He did point me at a YouTube build video though (its annoying music) so I'll have a look at that too. Sprue shots coming... 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Woohoo, first in, pick of seats - wonderful! Been away for the weekend, did I miss the end of the Spit Ced? I don't want to go & look in case I lose my seat!! Keith 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Crikey Keith, that was fast! The Spits not finished yet - I have to wait for the it's-all-your-fault Klear to dry before I can smash the transfers on Very nice kit in the top opening box. Four 'Eduard Grey' sprues, one clear, resin, film, PE and masks. The fourth one's smaller so gets a smaller photo Nice detail - here's the (what the hell!) cylinders and i/p: Nice clear clear parts: … and masks, resin bits, film and PE: A close up of the resin: Gun and exhausts and, er, no idea what those gear things are (but you know I like to introduce a little tension to my threads...) Transfers: Right, nearly lunchtime so I think I'll bash the transfers on the Spit. Later peeps! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Budge over Keith! Excellent! This is on my wish-list so I'll tag along if I may (now that you have see sense any are working in the one true scale now). I'll also be interested to see which brand new tools you feel are indispensable for building it – an arc welder perhaps? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more room at the front – I think there's a seat twelve rows back. Keep the noise down you lot in the cheap seats – I can't hear myself complain. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, only stale Smoky Bacon or Cheese and Onion crisps left over from the Spitfire build show. We need to wait for Simon @Spookytooth to arrive, he's usually good for the food!

Biggu Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Well, don't tell anyone, but I have been known to partake in some stale crisps ( chips over here) now and again......so where is Simon?? Someone had better give him a call before this next build update....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(ex)Sgtrafman Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Hey Ced, My Lizzie has just been put on the back burner for a little while (like a lot of my kits), but having seen you make a start on yours I guess it would be rude of me not to finish her? Heres where I am at the moment... ..they aren’t the best photos I’m afraid, I’ll take some better ones soon. if you take your time the kit goes together very nicely 😎 Cheers Iain 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedB Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 Crikey what a crowd! Welcome everyone and thanks Simon for the snacks, again. We really should start a kitty... Iain don't let me push you into anything with yours - when you're ready, looking good! I'm spraying the Spitfire in the morning so I expect to get something done on this while that's drying. Meanwhile, here's some appropriate entertainment... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
