Terry,if they spruce up "Old Warden" it too could look as good as yours. Right now, in my humble opinion, yours looks the real thing and "Old Warden" looks like a model! Jack.

Hi Rookie Jim, I was fed up with thin CA. It seemed no matter what I did it poured out every where. I solved this by putting a few drops in the bottom of a small plastic container (ex fruit cup from my grandkids). I used a bamboo skewer sharpened to a point. I dipped it in the CA and got a small drop that worked perfectly. In addition I could reach difficult places easily. JackToronto.

Terry, Peter, yes it flies at shows. June 20 is Father's Day here and everything, in the museum , that flies will be up. So if any of you will be around Toronto then come and see it. That includes the Lancaster! About an hour east of Toronto in Trenton is the only original Halifax.http://airforcemuseum.ca/en/aircraft/aircraft/halifax Jack. PS. There is a TN Halifax coming in RCM&E soon, I hope. jh.

Hi MTM, I know it's about 2:30 in the morning but here's a link to some flying photos of the Canadian Lysander that will give you a better perspective when you start covering http://www.warbirddepot.com/aircraft_liaisons_lysander-cwhm.asp Jack. Edited By Papa on 31/03/2010 02:28:22

Everyone please make use of the pictures in anyway you want. It's my way of thanking you for all the build information and help you have provided. The raised cylinder head bumps on the cowl are 6" wide by 8" long and raised 1". They are not as pronounced as I first thought. Jack.

Hi Guys, especially MTM. I went to Hamilton this morning to get some photographs of the Lysander. You can see them in my albums. I was fortunate to talk to the head restorer and pilot. He was a nice fellow, well he would be coming from Somerset, by the name of Rickards. He took my camera into the cockpit and also shot photos of the rear interior including the second seat. There are shots of the fuel tank as well for anyone thinking of a more scale model. I shot as many exterior shots as I could. You were asking about the yellow. Apparently there was no real spec. for the colour. Squadrons used what was available the thinking being yellow is yellow. This example was painted in what we call School Bus yellow or Loch Haven yellow. Looking at the Humbrol site their Trainer Yellow would be a good match. Cub yellow is too dark. While the pictures make the finish look glossy the actual finish is a semi-gloss. I had to make two albums as I think I hit a cache limit. I hope you enjoy the photographs. Jack , Toronto.
