The Lysander was started around the same time as the Hotspur and Horsa.
I intended to do it with the Glider Tow attachment.

I did find some info but it was a wee bit fiddly (for me).

So over the last couple of days I have cleaned it up a little bit.
Added the blisters on the cowling with PVA/Talcum powder. Propeller and struts are from take away coffee cup plastic top.
Spinner is a bit of clear sprue spun up on a dremmel and attached to a pin.
Tail wheel is from thin copper wire bent to shape. I annealed it and filled the centre with Cyano.
The decals are from a Sheet that I printed off years ago ( was still learning then). I wont be adding a fin flash.

Didn't turn out too bad.

I've cleaned up the Hamilcar a bit too. Will add the topic later

Cheers

Great work Gordon, 10 out of 10 for making the parts from different materials. Regards Paul J.

Thank you Paul and Lou.
Using bits and pieces probably stems from my childhood. Making do with what you have.

Cheers
