wally7506 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I don't have any reference material on the Convair 240 series. Can anyone point me to some decent line drawings of the Convair 340. I'm thinking of hacking up the Testors/Hawk kit and go after this one. Also, any suggestions for some engine face inserts for the nacelles would be helpful, too.

skippiebg Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Here is a nice Testors C-131 Samaritan (nee-CV 240) build article: http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/builds/tes/build_tes_0622.shtml The modeller uses engines provided by a Mr Boyd Waechter, but with provenance otherwise unknown. I think a spares box ought to turn up something useable in the way of a pair of tiny radials. Any discrepancy is not likely to detract too much, given the kit's other shortcomings which, as a cursory glance shows, appear to be legion. That said, personally I'd sell a Hawk CV 240 to a collector and use the proceeds to get a Mach 2 or Proteus 1/72 kit, and take it from there, but that's your choice. --- Re. drawings, got some busy-looking ones by Mike Herrill (if memory serves), done in the 1970s or earlier. Don't know how faithful they are. Will look for 'em and let you know in a private message if I get any joy.
