Avro Manchester scale plans


Elias

Recommended Posts

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.

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?

has plans to 1/144th on pages 190-191

 

The PSL  Lancaster book has details of how to convert existing kits, so has the differences drawn.  The book is old, about 1980, so don't know how well it stand up (book not too hand or i'd check)

I've got a set of the Aviation News plans that you're looking for. Just send me a PM if you need them.
