Westland Lysander mk.III Eduard 1/48.

I probably wouldn't have built a 1/48 scale model so quickly if I hadn't met @johnb John during my trip to Holland. I received this wonderful kit from him there. I first built a Westland Lysander in primary school and it was a Matchbox model, which seemed so good to me then! The kit itself is a reissue of the Czech Gavia kit, with photo-etched parts and masks. I found a few mistakes and omissions in the instructions - unfortunately I caught them too late. Newer editions of this model seem to have been corrected. Thank you all for the joint group construction of these wonderful Lysanders. I invite you to see my presentation and... Cpt. R. will return...

    I'm glad you liked the gift and I'm happy to see you created such a nice diorama with it.
    It was a pleasure to show you around the Netherlands. Visiting the bridges in Nijmegen and Arnhem, the dropping zones near Nijmegen and the National Military Museum was really nice.
