Airfix 1/48 Scale Westland Lysander Mk.I/Mk.III Model Kit

Airfix 1/48 Scale Westland Lysander Mk.I/Mk.III Model Kit HISTORY: One of the more unusual aircraft to see action during the Second World War, the Lysander was designed to provide the British Army with a modern aircraft for reconnaissance, observation and artillery spotting. Possessing exceptional short take-off and landing capabilities, the Lysander was just what the Army were looking for. Unfortunately, many of the design requirements incorporated into the aircraft were the result of outdated thinking. Of 175 Lysanders sent to France with the British Expeditionary Force, 118 would be lost, the aircraft unable to defend itself against Luftwaffe fighters.   MODEL KIT SPECIFICATIONS: Scale: 1/48 Length: 192mm Width: 316mm Height: 85mm Number of parts: 171   MODEL KIT FEATURES: Newly sculpted pilot and gunner figures, with single and twin gun mounts Open or closed canopy option Detailed internal fuselage structure Option for open or closed leading edge slats and dropped flaps Covered or uncovered wheels, with optional undercarriage bomb racks and full bomb load Metal and fabric airframe skin textures are authentically replicated   Please note: This is a plastic model assembly kit.
