Thanks, Trevor. I've got the Granger drawings somewhere, and even if I can't find them I should be able to work something out from that photo.

 

If you find them, might I acquire a copy. too?

Back to the tail wheel issue @fightersweep

The later tail wheel, as fitted to Lincolns and Shackletons (and seen on pA474) has a 15" diameter wheel and an overall tyre diameter of 32", that should help scale it.  The Hasegawa tail wheel is pretty close to this size, but with the wrong twin contact tyre design.

The leg itself was modified with an anti-shimmy device, which was why the twin contact tyres were not needed with that unit.

 

Looking at the Airfix kit, it looks like the larger radiator intakes are replicated, I will try and measure them sometime, and hopefully someone here will be able to come up with the actual sizes.
