Mancunian airman Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I have posted a few photos in the RFI section concerning the conversion of an Airfix 08002 Lancaster to the Manchester aircraft I just wanted to show how the main elements of the conversion were achieved, mainly the Wings, tailplanes and the engines for anybody that would consider the conversion ?? The main wings . . . To get the nacelles to fit under the wings The tailplane at 28ft span .. . The engines: profile pieces Thanks for looking in Ian 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malpaso Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 According to Bruce Robertson book from early 60s only the first 20 had the 28ft span tail. So for the later ones, whether triple or double fin you can use the kit parts as is for the horizontal surfaces. The info about this in Robertson's book seemed to have been missed for years and reemerged confirmed in recent years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
