28ZComeback Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Hello all, I seem to recall a Paragon 1/48 conversion kit available years ago to convert the Lancaster to a Lancastrian airliner. I know Paragon is long gone but is there any other conversion kit available to build a 1/48 Lancastrian? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Don't know of any, and I've been looking for a while now (the Qantas ones, you understand ...). Would have thought that it be a good choice for someone in the aftermarket field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXANTOMCAT Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 A 1/72 version has just popped up on eBay if that helps! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154607978451?hash=item23ff5a87d3:g:GKgAAOSwJNNhPjPr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Not one of Magna's better efforts. The nose cone, in particular, needs a lot of work to get it to the right shape. As well, it was designed for the previous Airfix Lancaster, and a fair bit of work is needed to get it to fit the current release (ask me how I know!). Surely it's worth someone's while to do a 1:48 conversion, especially now we have both Tamiya and HKM kits to play with? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXANTOMCAT Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 All the decals are there which could be blown up to 1/48.... TT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
