1/72 218 Airmodel Westland Lysander Tandem Wing Conversion - Bagged
Vacuform Model Kit
Includes conversion parts to turn a base kit into the very unusual tandem wing. Includes white and clear parts as required. Does not include the base kit. Vacuform conversions are only recommended for highly experienced modelers and scratch-building skills are required. The Tandem Wing Lysander was one of a number of experiments to convert this airplane into a beach-strafer. The first prototype received a shorter rear fuselage with a wide-span tandem wing with twin fins and rudders. At the rear was a power-operated four gun Boulton Paul turret, but the prototype (K6127) only had a mock up. Flight trials in 1940 showed very good handling.
