Hello,
a nice video I found a while ago for this very nice plane. It's one of a few ones only that can fly and it's in our Canadian Air Museum in our capital, Ottawa. Nice walk around in video. A plane I have in my stash with an Eduard kit and planning to visit the museum with my 7 years old son sometime this summer

One of my all-time fave planes. The eduard kit has been on my wish list for some time.

Nice video, thanks for putting it up.

We have an airworthy Lizzy here in the UK with the Shuttleworth Collection at New Waldon. I think she's done up in her night time SOE colors.

I've a real soft spot for these, I had the privilege of knowing a pilot who flew the Lysander on SOE missions from RAF Tempsford. The aircraft at Shuttleworth is in superb condition :banana: thanks for sharing :th:

hello again,
as mentioned before in this section with other posts, I have a few pictures of different planes from the Canadian Aviation Museum. Since I've posted this video not long ago, I decided to add the pictures I took of the one in the museum.

Yes ! and in pristine condition too. I have the Eduard one in my stash to build too... Finishing my current Hellcat you can see in the building thread, next one is going to be Tamiya ki Tony and then the Lysander ! Because when my son saw it, he thought it was the coolest plane ever.
