Historical Description:

The Westland Lysander was a British observation and liaison aircraft widely used during World War II. Thanks to its characteristic short take-off and landing (STOL) design, the Lysander carried out special missions such as SOE agent drops behind enemy lines in occupied Europe, as well as evacuations of soldiers. It was most intensively used by the Royal Air Force (RAF) between 1938–1945.

Recommended difficulty level: 3/5. We recommend this set for modelers with intermediate to advanced experience, who are skilled in working with delicate photo-etched details and cyanoacrylate glue.
