| Avro Lincoln conversion kit 1/72 Hello all, I own the Airfix 1/72 scale Lancaster and would love to convert it to the Lincoln having already built three Lanc's with yet another apart from this one waiting for construction, I think a Lincoln will be that something a bit different, now I have found a conversion kit but I though it would be better to ask here which is the best reasonably priced one for a student on a budget?  I intend to do my Lincoln as the one at RAF Museum Cosford. Thankyou in advance

| Can't help with the choice, but sounds like an interesting alternative build!

| This is what I'm hoping to get for my own conversion: Flightpath 1/72 WWII, Avro Lincoln Detail and Conversion Set |

| Like Wayne, I can't help with your choice. I've never used conversion kits, but there used to be ones from, I believe, Contrail and I think Airwaves. The Flightpath stuff should be good, but they tend to be expensive. I'll check through my old magazines, as there was a feature on this conversion not long ago, about 25 years I think! If I find it, I'll post any useful bits.

| The Airfix magazine one is one I thought of, but no longer have, I don't think, so please post it. I do have one in an old copy of SAM, which is more a feature, with profiles etc, but I'm sure will include details of conversion kits. The two together should help Lanc, I think!

Therefore it will be chaeper if you have these parts scratch-built.Sometimes a model conversion seems to be expensive but using some different materials and techinques it is possible to achieve a good effect without spending addirional money.
