Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but two pictures in Warren M. Bodie's "Republic P-47 Thunderbolt From Seversky to Victory", page 219, shows clearly that the XP-47F had B-model standard fuselage lenght, no extra front section as in C and later models. Text in another page mentions that the F received the QEC engine mount as in the C and later models but no mention of fuselage extension. Cheers, Lucio

Hello Freightdog!! Anybody home? I sent an enquiry about Lancastrian Avon testbed availability. No reply... Lucio

Bringing back to life an old thread! Thanks for the informations. I even found an Airmodel kit in eBay! But wait: Classic Plane have a new Kestrel-powered He-70 listed, this time using the ICM kit as basis. I think I will have a go at this one. In the meantime, another picture. From Flight magazine.

I understand you. There´s a lot of kits that i'm sure I have but can´t find in the stacks!
-
Edit. Just did a Google search. The conversion set was made by Classic Plane and includes painting instructions!
-
Hi, Jure! I didn´t know about this Airmodel engine set. Let´s start the hunt! Do you remember if the conversion included painting instructions? Cheers, Lúcio

Hi! I have been researching this airplane for some time with no success. Just some small pictures in the internet. Do you know of a good drawing of the plane? I´d like to convert one of my old Matchbox Blitzes. Cheers, Lúcio

Gekko, Toryu and Ginga were made in Brazil, also, by Revell´s local partner, A. Kikkoler. I have three Toryus, two brazilians and one japanese. The Hasegawa Ki-45 is far superior. My Gekko (from Kikkoler) was assembled wen I was a teenager and still are in great shape, but I already got the Fujimi superior version. My Ginga (Kikkoler) are waiting assembly. I never saw Fujimi´s Ginga but I have been told it´s better. Cheers, Lúcio

Thanks for the info. Now that the radial-engined Hurricane question was settled down, that Yugoslavian Daimler-Benz engined one looks tempting... At least this one was built (flown?). Cheers, Lúcio

I have seen comments here and there about a radial engined Hurricane but...there was such plane or was it just a project that didn´t came out of the drawing board? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v131/Man...ne_Hercules.jpg Cheers, Lúcio

Ross and Walrus, MANY THANKS for the excellent material you both sent to me. Now I have a solid starting point for Battle, Lancaster, Lancastrian and (I can dream...) Lincoln test beds. If you need something, please drop me a line. Best regards, Lúcio
-
Ross, Wonderful scans of the Wellington. I´d like to have the Battle, too. Will build it first, just because it´s smaller. Best regards, Lúcio
-
Walrus and Rossm, I gladly accept your offers. I really love engien test beds and other experimental aircrafts but there´s very little info and pictures of most of them. The Lancasters are the ones with more pictures and details published. In the other hand, the french Marauders with ATAR and Jumo engines in the rear fuselages are very elusive critters. I just reveived a small lot of old Airfix Magazines. There´s a small feature in converting the Airfix Fairey Battle to a test bed (Bristol Centaurus, Merlin and other engines) but pictures are very dark and low res and drawings very sketchy. It´s a start, however... Now that the new ICM He-70 are out I will probably convert my old Matchbox Blitz to the Kestrel engined example owned by Rolls Royce. Cheers, Lúcio

Hi! I´m looking for pictures/drawings/information on Wellington jet engine test beds. Also, same for B-17, Lancaster, french B-26 used to test ATAR engines, Battle, etc... test beds. Cheers, Lucio

Blimp, Thanks for the tips. I will start my J-1 as soon as I finnish my Vultee V-1A with floats. Regards, Lucio

Hi! Just got a Czechmasters Junkers J-1 resin kit. Looks superb. Any opinions on this kit? Accuracy? Any surgery needed? I´m more into WWII subjects and have very little info on WWI subjects. Cheers, Lucio
-
That´s impossible: Brazil never used the Mustang. Cheers, Lúcio
