**** DONE: 1/48 Westland Lysander - Jet/Recon/Transport GB

[Micdrow]

Tooks these a quite a few years ago but maybe they will help.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Now that is a good choice Karl!

I like that choice Karl. Here's another pic of the same bird that Paul posted from a different angle, different place, different time. It's the CWH Lysander done in a target tug paint scheme.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Clearly shows the outer plates on the spats as well Andy. Good one.

 

[T Bolt]

Cool pick Karl!

Hey, Karl,
I am looking forward to watching this build. I grabbed the Eduard kit off ebay and it is on the stack. Always loved the Lysander.

Want to do one as well someday, the old Matchbox one! Great stuff Red 2!

Here's a few pics of the Duxford example Karl, although you probably have your own too.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Now they are good pics Terry, especially with the spat covers removed.

thank you all for chipping in with pics

wow cheers Terry, my pics are not as good as those .

my kit has solid wheel rims and other pics i have of Lizzies i have seen have a bar with holes in it on the outside of the wheel as well ?
will try and find it and post it here.

will probably leave my wheels fully covered as it might be a pain to cut out the covers as they are moulded as part of the spats !

 

[Airframes]

Yep, I've seen both 'solid' wheels and spoked. Cutting out the covers won't be a major problem, but mounting the wheel could be, if the kit doesn't include the actual gear leg. My kit is the Italeri version, courtesy of Glenn (I think the ex-Hawk/Testors kit), which uses pins inside the two halves of the spats. The bar you mean acts as a 'mud scraper', and I think also an attachment point for the covers.

That's gonna look great Karl...!

I myself prefer the yellow and black target tug but I appear to be grossly outnumbered. Awaiting the build Karl.

[Wayne Little]

a day off would be good....

 

[Tony Hill]

Great choice of scheme. The guys who flew these must have had b@lls the size of watermellons!

 

[javlin]

Should be a Nice one Karl.

thanks guys.

Tony i agree, flying an un armed aircraft and landing in enemy held territory, hero's one and all !
