Phantom2 Posted November 3, 2022 Author Share Posted November 3, 2022 The big glass house glued, it was a bit tricky to get all pieces in place, the fit was not stellar…. I had to put in some small supports for the roof piece to fit over the wing root, and it took a lot of sanding to get the wind screen to fit. The exhaust pipe glued to the cowl; I opened the end myself…. It grows…. Yes, I know that the cockpit inner frames should have been interior green, but I painted the window panes black by accident! Call it a senior moment or brain-fart…. Well, the frames will be black on this one! I use pieces of foam from old Eduard packages, perfect for masking canopies! More to come soon!

Phantom2 Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) Thanks all! I should do a dry-fit, but everything fitted so well that I glued them in place! Damn, this thing are big! Long and thin wings, but It looks to be much sturdier then a Fieseler Storch! All masked up and ready for primer…. The stairs glued to the side, but only two small attachment points at the top looked too weak! I added some bracing at the lower part and they are indeed there on the real plane! More to come soon!

Phantom2 Posted November 17, 2022 Author Share Posted November 17, 2022 (edited) Thanks, Mike and Maru! Time to give the engine cowl some attention… I started with several coats of Alclad Black Microfiller primer to get rid of all small scratches left from sanding and polishing. Then I started with a coat of stainless steel and then Pale Burnt metal, Exhaust and Manifold at the exhaust pipe. I think I got it quite well, I´m satisfied! The collector ring masked and the entire cowl painted with Alclad Black Microfiller once again to give a final, even coat for the camouflage. Now the whole aircraft are painted with Alclad Black Microfiller Primer…. This is not the small aircraft as you might think! More to come soon!

Phantom2 Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 I have started painting the camouflage, first color is Medium Sea Grey (Hu.165)…. The cowl received the same color…. A few days later I masked for the Dark Green (Hu.163) I shape the edges with Masking Putty and fills in the rest with pieces of tape…. Ready to go…. The Dark Green masked and now I´m masking for the Coal Black (Hu.85)…. A quick test to check for the masking Is somewhat even between the cowl and fuselage… More to come soon!

Phantom2 Posted November 27, 2022 Author Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) OK, masked and ready for the gloss coat…. Painted with Alclad Clear Kote Gloss… After a few days drying time, I could get the decals on, not so many on this aircraft. Decaling done…. Most decals went on without a hitch, but a few did silver quite a bit. Typically old Revell decals! I have searched for AM decals for the Lysander and found none in 1/32! More to come soon!

Phantom2 Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 (edited) All windows demasked and all remaining small parts glued to the model, some paint touch-up´s, an antenna from lycra is strung between fin and mast and the kit is done! I do have to confess, I didn´t have any high expectations on this kit from the -70`s at all, but I was very positively surprised. Good fit, even very good fit in places, a bit spartan in the details of course and the decals were fair, but no more then that. But on the whole It was a very fun build, some scratch building included and I had a blast! If I can find another Revell kit I will build a Lizzie in the Green/Brown daytime scheme. Finally I managed to complete a kit within the timelimit of a GB, wohah! A first for me! Cheers!
