Well of we go to F-106 Delta Dart land, lol!! For an older kit the plastic seems pretty clear of flash and ejector pins marks. The plastic however is a bit thin and soft! For a 1/48 kit the cockpit has some wonderful detail. The ejector seat detailed nicely but will be hard to see in the narrow cockpit! Pretty narrow but at least the chair shows! Fuselage is a good fit but the wings look tricky!!

All done!!! Check out my finished build by clicking here Lysander!

Really enjoyed another vintage Matchbox/Revell build! The 1/32 Lysanders was great fun!

Masked, primed and painted the Lysander cockpit canopy today and did finally assembly!

Thanks for the heads up Erik. I'm looking forward to the build.

Gonzo for the life of me I can't remember. I know Arno and I did a web search and the two resin cockpits we bought were the last ones. It's a fantastic cockpit kit with wonderful detail.

A friend of mine has asked me to build a F-106 Delta Dart that he was a crew chief on while serving in the USAF.

Resin cockpit! Roundel mask. My scheme!

Almost done!! Working on the finishing the cockpit canopy this week.

Nicely done!

I'm sorry no resin kits for this boy. I don't need that frustration, lol!!!

Speechless on all fronts!!!

Well as promised the paint shop crew delivered the Lysander ready for decals and weathering. I really like this Flory wash! The top outboard wing has had the wash installed and I've wiped away to the level of weathering I want. The panel lines popped and I even achieved a faded look!

I'll have to try that Mike as the nail polish remover was making me a but nervous around the plastic!!

Looking forward to using my new Flory Wash to highlight panel lines on future builds!!

The Lysander returned to the paint shop where the crew masked and painted the upper wing and fuselage camouflage scheme With Tamiya XF-61 Dark Green and XF-22RLM Grey. The paint shop crew boss emailed me today saying they were preparing to spary a coat of Future and I would have in back for decals and weather later this evening!!

Wasn't to thrilled with the fit and mount og the rear Lewis Gun so decided to scratch build my own!

Super effort Anders!! Absolutly beautifully done! Looks like it's sitting waiting for its pilot!!

Nicely done! really like the scheme and the weathering!

George the paint shop crews is scheduled to mask and paint the Lysander top camouflage surfaces with Tamiya XF-61 Dark Green and XF-54 Dark Sea Grey tomorrow depending on the weather! If it's nice outside they want the day off!!! Can you imagine ;-)

Thanks Erik I saw the two post and contacted James but he's so busy with his builds, lol!! I'm looking forward to the build. Arno and I are each building the kit with aftermarket cockpits over Skype! He's in Switzerland and I'm in Atlanta Georgia!! Should be great fun!

I agree with Johnathan! Your craftsmanship is inspiring to say the least Arno as it does inspire me to challenge myself with each build! You nailed the prop right down to the boot dents!! By the way how did you do the dents??

Paint shop crew sent the Lysander back upstairs and maintenance started dry fitting and masking the canopy!! Love this kit and highly recommend it!

The Lysander was transferred down to the paint shop earlier yesterday morning. When I was last down there the paint shop crew had primed the aircraft with good old rattle can primer and had just finished spraying the Tamiya XF-1 Flat Black underbelly surfaces!

Revell 1/32 Hawker Hunter FGA9 review and assembly coming soon to a LSM near you!!
