mikestow Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Has anyone tried a Carvair conversion yet on the new Airfix or old Mach 2 DC4?.I recently bought a Vacform conversion nose section on Ebay,to give it a go,as I had a Mach 2 DC4 that was rotting in the loft.I was going to try one using a redundant Magna Bristol nose section,and mod it to form the Carvair profile.However this was the first I have ever seen,so worth a try?

CarLos Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 You mean "new Revell". I read somewhere that a conversion is on the way, but I'm not sure if it was in dreams or in reality... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 I saw that too. I have a feeling it was either Blackbird or Freightdog, but no doubt Glen and/or Colin will be along shortly to tell me if I'm wrong. I need a couple - there are Ansett ones that have to be done ...

fharris Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Scratch built nose grafted onto a Mach 2 (unjustly maligned) DC-4 airframe Hawkeye decals. Both Ansett colour schemes available from Hawkeye in various scales. Fred H. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radleigh Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 As a side note, has anyone seen that a Carvair is active in the USA? Moving under it's own power..... not sure on the plans but it's going somewhere for a major overhaul and was flying on a special permit. Would love a conversion I must admit....

pinky coffeeboat Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) I've got to agree, a Carvair conversion would be nice. It would sit nicely alongside the ancient Airfix Super Freighter or the Roden one being hinted at...
