Elias Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Hello, can anybody help me with some accurate scale plans for Avro Manchester? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Maybe the Warpaint monograph on the Manchester? WTP103- I'm pretty sure it had 1/72 scale plans. There also might have been some in an older issue of Scale Aircraft Modelling, but I don't recall the volume and issue number- IIRC it was a conversion build, using an Airfix Lancaster- maybe one of my UK brethren can help you.

tempestfan Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 You do remember correctly, but I‘ll have to leave the provision of the exact issue to someone else. And if I RRC, there was also one in the PSL Classic a/c and how to model them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Smith Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 There are plans in the Kirby book on the Manchester, which is a good book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Kirkby book is an excellent reference,with many photos and details for every Manchester build,but no plans. Aj press book about Lancaster has many plans about Manchester,but don't know how accurate are. Does anybody have the Aviation news vol12 25 from 1984?

The book is old, about 1980, so don't know how well it stand up (book not too hand or i'd check) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevejj Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 A Manchester flying on one engine! I bet that didn't happen very often lol Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jure Miljevic Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 And you would not loose a bet, Stevejj. That is why one pilot, who brought her back from Berlin raid on one engine, did not have to wait for long to receive his well-deserved DFC.

vildebeest Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I am fairly certain I have the plans from Aviation News, but suspect they are at my mother's house, so it may be some time before I can get them. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet that didn't happen very often lol It happened all too frequently @Stevejj, but was followed very shortly after by a landing if you were lucky, or a crash if you weren't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vildebeest Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Hi. my Aviation News plans are not at home, which means they will be at my Mum's house, and it will be a couple of weeks before I am there again. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
