  1. Hi, Since I have to slow down a bit with finishing my Short Empire (WIP exists) waiting for Red-Roo conversion set with decal which goes to me (I belive) from Australia, and likely due to pandemia it goes by ship, it will take some time to go right to the other side of globe... - so I started another conversion project which I was thinking about from years. It consist of at least three builds: 1. Heller bomber MB 210 scratch conversion to passenger MB 220 (so called "French DC2") 2. Heller bomber Potez 540 scratch conversion to Romanian Potez 65 3. Heller recce Mureaux 117 into Mureaux 115 I know that there are resin kits ora at least conversion sets availabe for all those three machines but I was planning to do this for some long time and now it is perhaps time to do it First I will work on MB 220. Here are available kits https://www.scalemates.com/topics/topic.php?id=53494 But in my stash there is Bloch 210 waiting to serve as base. The conversion will use wings and tailplanes (findifferent) of Heller kit. I think that I can use also u/c, but I have to check it more. Unfortunately I cannot use props (they are very bad in kit) , nor nacelles (they are different) nor cowlings. I will use some resin copies nacelles from Mach 2 Bloch 131. Anyway - the main difference is in fuselage. Bloch 220: Bloch 210: As a base for fuselage I will use..., hm, what to say? - just have a look: This fuselage stays in my drawer some teen years, since my construction of York with CMR fuselage.... From Bloch fuselages I cut out the the wing-fuselage fairings With some piece of styren plate they made the staring point I combine it with fragments of Lancaster fuselage, with glued in clear plastic sheets (from a box of Austrian "Mozart kugel" chocoltes) The Lanc fuselage is more narrow then passenger machine of course, so a gap arises Moreover, the Lanc fuselage is a keystone like in section (wider on bottom), and MB 220 is has parallel walls,, but it is no problem at all The rear part has to be done separately, since Lanc not flat top profile of fuselage, going a bit down toward the end. MB 220 has straight profile. The nose has to be done completely out of scratch. I glued the kind of box (as for cockpit) with a rounded nose taken from MPM DC-2 spare one (But cut vertically to do it more narrow). I put o this epoxy putty (not a special for modelers but such as used for car body repairs, It is far more cheep and of good quality) After firs sanding Some more putty added and second wet sanding the shape is better... First trial of whole fuselage shapes: Not very bad, I think... I have the problem as always with passenger machine in war time livery. What is inside of passenger cabin? In this scheme: The ambulance role suggest that inside is stripped off. But in this picture The curtains stays in windows, so likely all furniture left original Here are photos of inside and of cockpit https://www.passionair1940.fr/Armee de l'Air/Appareils/Transport/Bloch-MB220/EN-Bloch-MB220.htm Meanwhile I started some work also on Mureaux 115. The new engine will do, but I use some part from MS 406,left after conversion to Morko Morane. In paralel I will do Mureaux 117. I did some framing of walls inside as well for both fuselages To be continued Regards J-W
