An even limper Lysander - part 1

Veteran readers will perhaps recall this earlier foray into broken Airfix Lysander repair.  This ‘new’ one was plucked to safety(?) from this box of quality items. 

As it emerged. It’s not really this good - I propped the various bits together to make the photo less harrowing. 
A surprisingly large quantity of glue later the thing was in one piece. Paint time. 
By this stage, Pete had kindly offered a set of surplus decals - can you guess who the Lysander’s new employer is?

    Looking good so far Tim. I await its return from the paint shop with interest.

    Cheers,

    Pete.

    “Of Hector and Lysander and such greats kits as these…”
    I had forgotten this kit, l had one years ago . I always thought it an elegant aeroplane and it still is.

    Looking forward to seeing the final thing (and I have an unfair advantage as I already know who the new owner will be).

    When in doubt, use more glue! It looks great so far Tim, can't wait to see the finished product!

    Progress has of course now ground to a halt!

    There’s certainly little change of mistaking it for anything else.

    I’ll have to come up with a use for it at some point!

    I had to crack open a fresh tube of glue during the rebuild!
