Modeler's Note: The Lysander Mk. III has not been well served in 1/72 with only the Frog kit being issued in this version. All other Lysanders, Pavla, Airfix, and Matchbox, were of the Mk. II. One option to get a nice Lysander Mk. III is combine the Aeroclub Mercury engine with the second generation Airfix kit.

I'm glad to see you're back to updating your blog. It's a favorite of mine and I was sad that it had almost seemed to stop for a while there.
I hope at some point you'll update your rankings of 1/72 Spitfire Vs, with the several new kits that have come out.
Yes, but who in their right mind would want to build a Lysander?
Edward,
Thank you for your kind words. Life sorta got in the way. I hope to get back to regular updates and I'll get a couple new Spitfire reviews up soon.
