praded-dembelya Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Dear fellow modellers, as you probably know we are going to produce a kit of Avro York in 1/72 http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235011331-avro-york-172/ http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235011380-172-avro-york-by-mikromir-cads/ At the moment the CAD model is nearly finished and we are calling all the York experts to give it proper scrunity before it's too late. We can provide full model as EDPRT viewer so all the nuances could be properly verified. Any help, references included, is greatly appreciated. Please drop me a PM if you have any suggestions or willing to share information or participate 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janneman36 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I will buy one that is shure....this looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarLos Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I see that you modeled the larger engine intakes. I am no York expert, but I am not sure if all (or most) Yorks had the large ones. Something I would like to see discussed, as I have two Yorks to build... Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had different Pax windows, higher line than normal, think they were rectangular too. Round windows. We discused that particular York on this topic: I'm still wanting photos! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzn20 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Its a hard kite to find anywhere. I looked through my dad's photos from when he was on the Berlin Airlift, he's got the strangest planes in there, odd National Guard aircraft in flashy schemes, burnt out C-54s and Hastings, loads of Yorks but not that one I'm afraid. I asked him about this York and it didn't ring any bells so I guess it didn't come anywhere near him, he would have remembered it. I haven't forgotten it. I look every now and again as its an interesting one off. Edited January 30, 2017 by bzn20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had different Pax windows, higher line than normal, think they were rectangular too. The Victory Aircraft built York, FM400 / G-ALBX did have a higher than normal window line, which was straight (apart from a step down under the spars) and followed the upper fuselage line as you say, but they were circular windows. It also had the earlier style Lancaster wheels. BTW love the camo on this one, It's great to see Praded-dembelya asking for info here, and hope someone with the knowledge can help him and Mikromir out.

keithjs Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Oh no, not something else....I did a Czech Master resin conversion one in Dan Air markings a few years ago and always liked the aeroplane...

71chally Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 The Canadian York briefly appears in a video somewhere, I think on youtube, see if I can find it. Would set it apart from all the other York builds! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali62 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 This will be a great model to have added to the build pile, from what I can see it is being really well though out and developed. Looking forward to seeing this model and others promised by MikroMir Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) If a civil variant is released I am in for one box. Cheers Edited January 7, 2019 by Moa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Callahan Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I'm interested in a civil scheme as well. So TWO boxes accounted for already. How can they fail? 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcanicity Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Any news on this? I'd love to build a Berlin Airlift York but am nervous of the Mach 2 kit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjaweijfopi4j48 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 No no no no no no (Vicar of Dibley) passenger ones! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I'll 'ave a bit of that! Gotta be better than the Mach 2 one ... Now, if someone would just do a 1:48 conversion set so that we can do a York AND a Manchester from a Tamiya Lancaster ... (I was going to ask for it in 1:32, but thought that might be greedy!)
