dogsbody Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 That's a nice picture of a Mk.II, J-W. That looks like that's a supply canister and those two lads are packing the parachute into it. I wonder it this Lizzie is with an ASR squadron? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thought what it can be and why? Regards J-W Hi think i have seen this somewhere captioned as a 225 squadron aircraft looks like it may have a replacement rudder ? cheers jerry Edited October 21, 2019 by brewerjerry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 From the IWM: The caption: Groundcrew pack a parachute into a supply dropper before fitting it to the stub winglets of a Westland Lysander Mark II of No. 225 Squadron RAF at Tilshead, Wiltshire.

brewerjerry Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Hi there are some nice lysander photos on the iwm site i never noticed before this ASR lysander view of dinghy and smoke bombs https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205210248 loading smoke bombs onto an ASR lysander https://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205210247 cheers jerry Edited October 22, 2019 by brewerjerry 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xirurg Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I've just finished building it. Will post results in "ready for inspection" a bit later. The kit is bad, people already pointed out canopy issues. It's an old Frog/Novo mold hence bad quality of the kit. However one thing I totally didn't expect was quality of the plastic itself - was really hard to work with - could only use coarse sandpaper (up to 400) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There us a nice example here: https://modelingmadness.com/review/allies/gb/others/plesly.htm "a bit long in the tooth and simplistic by modern standards". Good grief you're describing me! Hah,hah!

A page or two earlier there is another from the left side, same squadron so perhaps same airframe, which also seems three tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairtrigger Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 I've actually finished this rather awful kit, I decided to do the SOE version, but it doesn't come with the right decals, I have put a wanted advert out for them never know may get lucky. Well it's improved my skills with PVA glue, as I used this to fill the massive gaps in the canopy fit. It actually worked surprisingly well. The rear windows near the tail I used the clear packaging from a toothbrush packaging quite pleased with the result and a massive improvement from the windows supplied with the kit. Gloss coat going on tomorrow and wing rondels that came with the kit in the week. If anyone can help with the SOE decals or come up with any suggestions very grateful...

wombat Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 The Airfix decal is for MA C with grey green uppers, rather than all black as some others were. Does that suit you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
