    Has anyone ever came across an ARF Westland Lysander? Preferably about 60 size.

    Never saw an ARF Lysander ... probably available in plans though.
    I'm sure I have seen plans for both the Lysander and it's axis counterpart the Storch in the past.
    If you want a wartime highwing, would you consider a Cub in war camo colours ?

    Appreciate the advice. Managed to download plans for a Lysander off the internet, but I think constructing from plans is a little beyond me for now. I've thought about the other high-wing military models, but its not just the configuration of the Lysander that attracted me, its the history of the aircraft and its usages. I've seen photos of scale Lysanders on numerous club websites, (many of them french, which figures), but I'm buggered if I can figure out where the owners came across them!

    Waheey! Got it (more or less). Came across the Kitcutters website which offers ARC kits of almost every warbird imaginable. The Kits are available in either full (all parts and accessories pre-cut, including pre-cut coverings) or short versions, (minus some of the accessories and minus the covering).
    Have to check what is the situation with overseas orders, but if anyone wants to check it out the address is www.kitcutters.com
