Ta!

Here we are after adding the final couple of decals to the fuselage. I've not bothered adding most of the tiny stencils which are included on the Techmod sheet, as frankly, you won't be able to see them at normal viewing distance.

I still have to get yellow paint for the propeller tips, but I've applied a coat of matt varnish this morning.

Here's the Frog Lysander build going on at the Golden Oldies GB.

The wings get inserted into slots in the canopy, so the fuselage needs to get built and painted first, then the canopy framing, then add the wings and the wheels/spats last.

Great work Andrew, those are both coming along nicely.

You're inspired me to crack open a couple of Classics.

Thanks, it's moving exceedingly slowly!


Wings now painted and a quick dry-fit reveals a terrible gap at both sides where it meets the cockpit!

I'm thinking about how to deal with this!

Slowly but surely, your Lysander is going to be delightful.

I miss the old Lysander. Yours is generating pangs of nostalgia!
Great to see,

David
