Wow! 

 

Although the prototype didn't have a good reputation the Trumpter kit has. I remember the kit being well received when it was reviewed.

 

Having seen the preserved Wyvern in the flesh it's always been a favourite and one I should build.  Nice work and looking forwards to seeing the finished article.

 

On the subject of the RNAS how about the Revell 1:72 Westland Merlin? 

 

Cheers,

PS: The Suez Stripes on the wings of the Wyvern offer something different to the white/black D Day stripes...

Mark, the one that's preserved at RNAS Yeovilton is a pre-production version - it has a piston engine (rather than the bonkers turbo-prop) and never flew.

 

I have a Trumpeter Supermarket Attacker on order, plus a Westland Whirlwind (the fighter not the helicopter) and a Lysander(Eduard) all in 1/48th waiting in the wings.

I never realised that about the preserved Wyvern...

 

I do love the Lysander. A real favourite of mine. Other than the obvious RAF versions. The Finnish and Free French versions look good and offer something different.

 

The Luftwaffe Fiesler F156 Storch in the same mould is another favourite. Always fancied building the Tamiya 1/48 version with Finnish Airforce markings...

 

The Finnish Me 109 G6’s in night fighter livery are also different with their ‘Bat’ markings.

 

Cheers,

There are 5 different versions of the Lysander you can do with the eduard kit - I shall be doing the all black version. It looks as complex as a 1/24th kit.

Sounds good...

 

Look forwards to seeing it once finish the Wyvern...

I have a four loco's to finish, before I can do anymore on the Wyvern and there's still a lot to do on the beast - the kit has over 200 parts!

 

I do like building kits that I've built in 1/72nd in other scales, hence why I acquired the Lysander. I also have a Me 109 in RAF markings to do in 1/48th, along with a Mosquito in 1/24th amongst an ever growing stash.
