Hi,
Another big WWII "Britt" - Avro York C MkI . This is Czech Master Resin conversion set (fuselage, cabin, wheels, wertical stabilizars, propellers) and a bit shaped other parts from previous 8 series Airfix Lancaster (I did it before release of Revell but after Hasegawa). CMR suggets to use Hasegawa, as I remember, but I did other way - I had one Airfix in my storage...I made some small improvments mainly on the shape or rather just details of egines and on the the surface. The wings have to be cut, each about 3 mm, near fuselage, due to wider fuselage.
The model shows MW140 used in Far East just after the war for evacuation of prisons of war from camps in Philipinis or Malaya. I think it came to the service in last weeks of war. The markings are RAF, not RAAF - the light part of the roundels at photos seems to me white, not light blue even if it is a SEAC airplane. If anybody can give me some proove that it must be light blue I will change it...
My second doubt - on one photo (and the only one where it is visible) I found, that York have dinghy on left wing, not right one, as Lancaster have. I am not sure if this is not just mirror mistake of the photo - there are no any charactes visible - this is a direct backward shot... So again - any comments from York expert welcomed!
Regards
Jerzy-Wojtek
