Westland Lysander Mk II - Matchbox 1:72

Hello!

Lysander Mk II, RAF 225 sqn.
R2007 subsequently flew with a number of units, including Nos. 13 and 2 Squadrons RAF, No. 7 Anti-aircraft Cooperation Unit, No. 239 Squadron RAF, and in the Far East with both Nos. 1 and 2 Squadrons of the Indian Air Force. The aircraft was finally written off after a heavy landing at Risalpur on 16 March 1943, while serving with No, 151 (Fighter) Operational Training Unit.

Model: Matchbox (!), some bits added in cockpit, landing & navigation lights, pitot tube etc.
Code letters & fin flash painted, other markings- decals.

This was a fun-project returning old Matchbox into 21'st century, but that doesn't mean a easy one.
Now I await f.e. Airfix reveal a new Lysander mould in 1:72. I will go seppuku then.

Lovely work!

Great looking machine, just love it.

very nice model, maybe some silvering at the regnr's on the tail?

Could be. Sometimes difficult things turn out well and seemingly easy things don't.
The model making....
