airfixpeter Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I haven't done a wingy thing for a while and as I have on the look out for one of these and a found it in a charity shop and I didn't stay there for long. No construction yet just a few pieces painted here's the what I have got. I do have the matchbox reboxing of the 1/32 lysander but I am saving that for the matchbox group build 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 That looks great - welcome to the GB! I'm glad that we could tempt you back to wings, particularly as a civvy light aircraft is always welcome Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airfixpeter Posted August 18, 2021 Author Share Posted August 18, 2021 I have finally managed to find a bit of time to do some work. I have put together the cabin and engine. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 A nice start Peter . Will the engine be accessible/visible once the kit's built? Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin W Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I built this kit many years ago after I passed my PPL inone. Soon after finishing though wings started to droop. You should consider adding a spar into each before you assemble them. Look forward to seeing yourfinal scheme. P'S no engine visible but you need it to locate the propeller. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin W Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Yes but only because my wings weren't drooping! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mjwomack Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I think I built one of these about 20 years ago- didn't look half as good as the job your making of it. The (modelling) world needs more Cessnas! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airfixpeter Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 Finally found some time to crack on with this one. I have fitted everything together and added the wheels and ready for a bit of paint. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airfixpeter Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 Sorry about the lack of finishing build pics but she's all finished and I have had the put it on a stand as it's a tail sitter with not much room for weights. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliffB Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 That looks good from here Peter. Congratulations! Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 You did well with this shes looking good. Ive built the minicraft civvies, true they're not the best. However if you want a civvy aircraft its pretty much the only thing out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
