Details:

Bring one of World War II’s most daring covert operations aircraft to your collection with the Airfix Westland Lysander Mk.III Special Duties (A07117). This unique British aircraft was specially modified for clandestine missions into occupied Europe, where it played a vital role in inserting and extracting secret agents, resistance fighters, and downed airmen under the cover of night. Known for its exceptional short take-off and landing capability, the Lysander became the RAF’s legendary “spy taxi,” operating from improvised fields deep behind enemy lines.

This highly detailed plastic model kit captures the distinctive Special Duties configuration, including the enlarged fuel capacity, modified rear fuselage access, and characteristic field-operational equipment used for covert operations. Designed for intermediate modellers, it offers a rewarding build with finely engineered parts, optional configuration details, and authentic markings representing aircraft used in secret wartime missions.
