woody37 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I don't think there will be a Lincoln, hence Blackbird models doing the conversion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) You think Airfix tell him their future plans? They'd have to, for that to be a causal connection. Maybe they do, I don't know. Edited December 28, 2014 by Work In Progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) I don't think there will be a Lincoln, hence Blackbird models doing the conversion I tentatively agree with that, although I find it hard to believe that there is no market for a new tool Avro Lincoln if modellers here are prepared to pay close to GBP80.00 for Donor kit and Conversion? I realise that we are only a small minority of the modelling market, however I think this is a classic case of Pareto's 80/20 rule (20% of us modellers buying 80% of kits). Cheers and Happy New Year to all.. Dave Edited December 29, 2014 by Rabbit Leader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procopius Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 You think Airfix tell him their future plans? They'd have to, for that to be a causal connection. Maybe they do, I don't know. I think Airfix do collaborate to some extent with aftermarket manufacturers, in the sense that if one were to say "would I be wasting my time if I made a set to convert your Kit X into Aircraft Y," they might say "okay," or alternately, "might want to hold off on that one".

I believe this is the case. At the end of the day, there's a win/win/win for both manufacturers and modeller here, Airfix still sell a kit for a conversion to be made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are right, John Aero even commented saying 'this is why I never released my Shackleton conversion' or something like it, so they must speak one way or another.
