Re: What's on your work bench atm ?
I should have know that Stuart. Just followed a beautiful build of this kit on another forum and I have one in the stash
. I'll be following along with your build.
Thanks,

It's a fab kit John - I'm sure you'll enjoy it when you get a chance to build it.

Staurt, Bandai's decals are great! There's even two aftermarket decal companies that do Gundam decals and they're both really good.

Ah nice, I see where you're going with that - but no, It's actually Airfix's rather nice interior structure for the Westland Lysander I started building last week.
The detail and the fit is superb.![]()
I'll get a thread started for it.
Is this Airfix kit a 1/72 or 1/48 Lizzie?

This is 1/48th Carlos - it came out last year I think, maybe 2024. They haven't tooled a 1/72 version yet but they are going to release a blacked out SOE version of this kit in the Autumn/Fall, that I'v already got on pre-order.
This is the boxing I have.

That's good to know Mike. These Gundam look really good when they're decalled up and maybe weathered.Medicman71 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 14, 2026 6:15 am Staurt, Bandai's decals are great! There's even two aftermarket decal companies that do Gundam decals and they're both really good.

Nice! A Lysander. Interesting to see bombs mounted on main struts. Definitely I want to build.
