DocRob Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Looking forward to your progress Phil. a 32 scale Lysander would be very welcome though and I don't mean the Matchbox one. Cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 Rob, totalling agree with 32nd not Matchbox Lizzie…….just wish I had more time……the dilemma now is either get back to the Wildcat or start something new. With only having a very small stash it doesn’t take long to decide….. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Phil Just trying to keep up with so little free time while all the work is going on in the house.

Bomber_County Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 Thanks Kent, for an old mould and very few locating pins I reckon it’s gone together so far quite well. Just wish someone would do a 32nd….. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 Getting close now to booth time. Question is fit the wing before or after…….. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Nice work on that beautifugly plane Phil, the design is - err - lets say unique , but I like the shape of the Lysander and the work yo put into yours. About the wings, I would say, a lot depends on the scheme you chose. The wing struts are maybe more in the way, than the wing itself.

Bomber_County Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 Thanks Rob, I’m going to do the SOE scheme so black beneath. It’s more the glazing, never like adding it in case paint creeps in……decision time I guess… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Petter dure had a unique propensity for original designs : the Lysander, the EE Lightning, the Folland Gnat … Very nice work Phil. This one looks better than venerable 1/32 Matchbox one, which I have in the stash (would you believe it 🙄 ?), but can’t find the resolve to properly deal with … Hubert 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
