Admiral Puff Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

71chally Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 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.

PLC1966 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Certainly when I worked as SNCO BBMF Logs, the Lanc tailwheel was from an Airbus A300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted August 17, 2017 Author Share Posted August 17, 2017 Thanks all for the information. Very helpful indeed and will now hopefully make for a reasonably accurate 1/72 PA474! Best regards; Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
