dennismcc Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 It's coming together nicely, it may not be Tamiya but it's the only game in town if you want a Lysander, a "some modelling skills required" type of build. Cheers Dennis MikeMaben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom2 Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share Posted July 3, 2022 It´s old, It´s sparce, It´s dated, and I´m having a ball! I love these old kits! Stefan Rick Griewski, MikeC, MikeMaben and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom2 Posted July 10, 2022 Author Share Posted July 10, 2022 The Interior painted British Interior Green (Hu.78)… ...and the "cage" itself... I painted the details Matt Black (Hu.33) and gave them a dry-brush with Extra Dark Sea Grey (Hu.123)… More to come soon!

Phantom2 Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 (edited) The Instrument panel was OK, let´s see what I can do with it. Lousy picture, but You can see the details… I painted the IP with Alclad Black Microfiller Primer, glossed It with Alclad Clear Cote and let It dry a few days. My secret weapon here are Mike Grant´s Instrument decals. Here are lots of instrument dials and placards, but every item must be cut out separately. They look very good indeed! When the IP was througly dry I could paint some more switches and dials. Not too shabby, after all! I let the IP dry and glued the cockpit cage to the starboard fuselage side. When dry I could close the fuselage, almost perfect fit here! I´m very impressed by this kit, it´s old but the fit is pretty good overall! More to come soon!

Phantom2 Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) The fit was quite good, but the left hand side had a gap. Super glue, clamps and 24 hour of drying time solved that. I installed the belts before I closed the fuselage, but I forgot to take any pictures. The seat belts come from a generic 1/32 Eduard set, a Sutton harness for the front seat and the backseater only got a lap belt. Instrument panel installed…. All handling was a bit brutal on the panel so I had to replace some of the decals. The stabilizator had a stellar fit and the side rudder was also glued in place at different angles to liven it up a bit. I glued and masked the small window I the rear of the fuselage. I also masked the side window panels and glued the landing gears. The landing gears also fitted very good, she´s coming together fast now... More to come soon….

Thomas Lund Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Nice work ! I've had good success with doing wingtip lights and landing light covers in the plastic from transparent toothbrushes - polishes out REALLY nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony C Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 The interior looks great, Good job Remember building this as a kid along with the Beaufighter and thinking that they were huge! Not surprising given my usual fair then, was 1:72 scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom2 Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Thanks all! Among the first thing I did in this build was gluing the engine cowl together. But I was not happy with how It looked, the exhaust collector ring is rather thick and you can see It clearly from the outside. I read Azgaron´s thread and got some ideas how to solve this, I borrowed his idea straight off the bat! Many Thanks Mate! I cut a 1cm wide plasticard strip and glued that to the inside of the cowling. It looks ok, but I had to reinforce the strip with some small plasticard pieces on the inside. When the glue had dried, I cut and sanded down the plasticard to a smooth profile and masked the inside of the cowling. The fuel tank got it´s mounting “legs”; The landing gears/Spatz glued and sanded…. Lizzie comes slowly together!

Phantom2 Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) I repaired the Instrument Panel, a quite fiddly job, but well worth the effort.... The Lizzie is coming together…. The fuel tank glued in place…. The prop painted with Alclad Black Microfiller…. The engine cowl painted Alclad Black Microfiller…. The spinner painted Bright Yellow (Hu.69, and the tips demasked…. More to come soon! Stefan Edited October 9, 2022 by Phantom2 Rockie Yarwood, BradG, LSP_Kevin and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
