My other major project of 2010, finishing a vintage Matchbox 1/32 Lysander. Challenging build to say the least, but in a good way

There is a build thread here for anyone interested: www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=50258

Finished in one of the box options as an aircraft operating in Burma in 1945, hence the weathering.

	In remembrance of Sgt Edgar Harvey who died in December 1942 with the rest of the crew.

What were the roles of the Lysander on the Burma front? Army liaison and co-operation? Artillery spotting? Spy dropping?
