Westland Lysander Mk1, Matchbox 1/32

[Azgaron]

Here's the kit I intend to build.

 

 

It might take a while before I start to build.

Nice choice HÃ¥kan!

 

I've always wanted to see one of these get built.

Good one.

[BradG]

Excellent, welcome aboard. I've read that it's a fairly nice building kit.

Should be interesting. I imagine the wing root location might be a challenge.

Max

[Azgaron]

Thanks guys!

 

Yeah I can imagine that being a bit of a problem. Just have to see how it works out.

Looking forward to this one, HÃ¥kan. You don't see too many built. Amazing that Matchbox even considered releasing this subject in 1/32 back in the day.

[Azgaron]

Yeah, pretty neat they did though!

Thanks Maru!

 

As usual parts are coming in different colors.

 

 

I started cleaning up parts for the interior.

 

 

Somehow I feel this construction invites to at least some extra detail, like control wires and other stuff.

Gonna check walk arounds and see what I can do. Found one at Britmodeler, that turned out to be one of the paint options.

Might just go for that one. Nice with all black!

Should be interesting.

Seen a few of the Revell 1/32 Lysander kits going for pretty good money on EBay recently. Between £30-£40 seems about average, with the "Rare" sign attached, of course.

I've seen those Revell kits at shows in Belgium for about 15 a 20 Euros.

 

Nobody wants them anymore.Same for the other Matchbox repops.The Spitfire Mk 22 sometimes goes for only 10 Euros.And still it's left unsold.

 

I often wondered why Revell never did the matchbox Me 109.They did all the others.
