  • 1/72 1944 Westland Lysander Mk.III (SD) - Lucky

    Westland Lysander Mk.III (SD) RAF No 161 Sqn. Piloted by "Lucky" Newhouse during Operation Scimitar on 4/5th August 1944.

The unarmed Lysanders were flown on nights where they could rely on the light of the moon, carrying up to 3 agents, or 'operatives', into enemy occupied France and often bringing others back on the return flight. The secrecy of such missions meant the Lysanders often came under fire from both enemy and friendly forces. Highly detailed diecast model, with crew figure, rotating prop, and fixed landing gear. Approx. 13cm x 21cm (5" x 8.25"). Comes with a display stand.
