Boeing 767

[weemanreturns]

Hi Folks,

Anyone got ideas if it is possible to convert a 1/144 767-300 to a 767-200. I want to build a representation of an Excel Airways aircraft I flew to Rhodes on. The only 767-200 I can find is by Hasegawa , but that is 1/200 scale which I do not want.

Of course it is.

The -300 was a stretch of the -200. Search on this forum as the question was asked recently.

I think you need to remove 21.1mm forward of the wing, 23.3mm aft; and remove the tail bumper which wasn't required on the shorter body -200.

Check this site http://airliner-models.org/forum/topic/2809-konversija-boeing-767-300-v-767-200/page__hl__767-200

- there is a set of drawings that show the dimensions of the -200.

Welsh models also do a vac form fuselage conversion for the 767-200.

Or you could just use some of the scrap plastic that was removed when you shortened the fuselage.

Try to stagger the cuts in each fuselage half, that way there is some support from the other half when you join them together.

Well, I am flabergasted !!!! Thanks to you all who took the time to reply. Your help and advice is invaluable. I think I have enough info to proceed with my quest. All I need to find now is where I can obtain 1/144 Excel Airways decals, and also Condor Thomson as well. I built a Hasegawa 1/200 Boeing 767 and had to 'hand paint' the markings, and I would prefer a decal source. I will have to resort to hand painting if there is nothing else out there.

Hi Richard. I may have to 'hang fire' with the 'Condor' livery. We are going on holiday at the end of August, and are scheduled to fly in a Condor Thomson Boeing 757-300. But I have checked out Thomson on 'Wilkipaedia' and it says the airline is replacing the 757 with the Airbus 320 from 2012 (?), so I cannot now be certain of the aircraft. I will let you know in due course. Thanks for your help and comments. Regards. Andy

Do You mean Thomas Cook not Thomson Thomsons only fly Boeing 737-800s , 757-200 , 767-300s and 787-8s

If you are after Thomas cooks 757-300 i have that decal done in the blue livery with with either the new tail logo or the old Thomas cook logo
