Tweener Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Are there any conversions that would allow turning a DC-4 into a Canadair Northstar? Thanks all, Tweener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks all, Tweener Belcher Bits used to do such a conversion, unfortunately, it's sold out now. They still offer the decal sheet though. The conversion was based on a set from a company called Aircraft in Miniature, Hannants may be a source for the engines.

stevehnz Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Aircraft in Miniature are Aim 72, there are still some sets available from Hannants if you follow the links from the Aim website. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time that I looked at his website (which was several years ago), he had gotten out of the decal market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Edmundson Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 if your so inclined; BraZ does, in 1/144, both a RCAF nacelle (NorthStar) and a BOAC nacelle for the Argonaut. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Tony says above, there's a new website up with the decals on, but there's a note saying it's undergoing maintenance and updates and the webstore is currently closed. https://www.abovebelow.ca/shop/canadair-cl-2-c-54gm-cl-11-c-5-north-star/23?page=1&limit=180&sort_by=name&sort_order=asc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
