tnuag Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Manufacturer 96 146 posts Gender:Male Report post #1 Posted 1 hour ago As promised, I will record the progress of the Canadair conversions here. The DC-7 thread was useful and hopefully this one will be as well. There are four conversions in all, and they are all based on the Mach 2 Britannia kit. The parts breakdown for each conversion is as follows: Cockpit canopy Forward fuselage plug Rear fuselage plug RR Type engines 4 blade props Wright R3359 engines 3 blade props CC107 Yukon X X X X CL-44D X X X X X CL-44J X X X X X CP-106 Argus Complete new forward fuselage Complete new rear fuselage X X Argus screen shots Mk 1 radome Mk 2 radome 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnuag Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 Update 19 April 2019 Spoiler All masters for the Yukon, CL-44D and CL-44J have now been delivered and the production moulds are now being produced. Design work on the Argus continues -this is going to be a very large conversion set, consisting of virtually a complete fuselage and four engines, The engines will be similar to those in our DC-7 conversion sets. Plus propellers and possibly a new nose landing gear assembly, not forgetting wing mounted items and fuselage interior items........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aukebruins Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Am buildiing the CL-44J (AIM conversion and Mach 2 Britannia) Anyone producing decals (and which) for it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnuag Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) We produce a set of laser printer decals for Loftleidir Icelandic Airlines - I did these because the CL-44J was built by Canadair for and at the request of Loftleidir mainly for North Atlantic services. When the aircraft entered service it reportedly had a greater passenger capacity than the 707 at the time. This is the general arrangement drawing: And this is the instruction sheet - We also include Loftleidir decals for a set of Heston steps. Both decals and steps are available from Hannants and here are the links: Decals: https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/TWL72090 Heston steps: https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/GE72010 I hope this helps and that you are enjoying the build.
