Hi guys,
I’m new here and I have a question.

Does anyone have, or know where I can get conversion parts to convert the F & G versions on the market today into the early skinny fuselage, shark fin stabilizer versions?

also anybody know where I can get a 1:48 Avro Lancaster?

Tamiya made a Lanc. Actually they had at least two different versions. I have one on my to do list. But that is a couple of years away. As far as the rest no idea. Sorry. Check ebay for the Lanc. You may find one. Good luck.

I just happen to be at squadron.com site and they sell the B-17C kit that might interest you. Sorry they don’t have the convertion parts your looking for.

Thanks for the tip on the Tamiya 1:48 Lancaster! I have honestly never seen this kit! It should look nice next to my RAF '17E.

I know they make 1/72 scale B-17B’s, C’s & D’s but what I’m looking for is 1:48 kits.
