Thank Martin for your comments. Your Lysander looks really good. Is it 1/72 scale?.
We will do one Lysander in SEAC markings this for sure.

Santiago,

Many thanks in return. Yes, it's 1/72nd; the old Airfix kit.

If you do one in SEAC markings, remember to check the size of the spinner. The one I did should have had a larger one! In fact, I think the carburettor intake could also have had a dust filter incorporated. I may have some pictures somewhere.

regards,

Martin

Your welcome. Many thanks Martin for the piece of advice.

Thank to our good friend Luis, we have now the special decals to conclude the latest 5 Hurricane.





I will post the final photos soon.

Also, the 4 Lysanders are now ready for the decals.






Kind regards

The lysander in desert colors looks very interesting, as does the hurricane FI-D. Do you know anything about the history of this aircraft? Why did it have its cannons removed?

[Marek]

Santiago, fabulous group as usual. I really like Lysanders and yours look like a really interesting constellation.

Many thanks guys

I will check our reference but I remember that this Hurricane was mentioned on the Manson's book with a little photo of it.

Here is a little update on these Lysanders. My father has been working hard in order to get the correct decals. In some cases he made them by pieces like the Enamelled Polish Air Force symbol in one fuselage.








Here is a close up of the Argentinean Nose art on the Hurricane.
