JohnB Posted Friday at 09:35 PM Posted Friday at 09:35 PM This kit has been in my stash for a good while. At one point I had decided to sell it but got no takers. Soooo, now I'm gonna build it OOB. I'll use kit decals for "American Beauty" in NMF. 🙂 I'm just getting started and it looks like it will take some time to finish it. 5

JohnB Posted Saturday at 05:11 PM Author Posted Saturday at 05:11 PM I'm seriously considering building this one as a RAF Fortress III of 100 Group but I need a H2S radome. Any ideas as to where I might find one? 🙂 3
KevinM Posted Saturday at 06:29 PM Posted Saturday at 06:29 PM I guess that's what's under the chin?I would think the Lancaster's carried them John? They did thinking maybe an old canopy in 1/72 something out that spares box drop tank? 2
BlrwestSiR Posted Saturday at 06:33 PM Posted Saturday at 06:33 PM I think the closet you'd come to an H2S radome is one from a 1/48 Lanc kit and then modifying it to fit. 2

They did thinking maybe an old canopy in 1/72 something out that spares box drop tank? I "borrowed" one from a built up Lanc model. It'll work okay but then I'd have to locate a replacement for the Lanc! 1

I went through numerous boxes of "parts" but had no luck. I built one of these Fortresses something like 35 or 40 years ago using a Monogram kit. I looked high and low but wasn't able to find it or the radome (I figure that after all this time it HAS to be here some place but I still wasn't able to find it.)🤪 It'll probably turn up after I have the model built. 🤪 2
JohnB Posted Sunday at 07:18 PM Author Posted Sunday at 07:18 PM I decided to put this one back in the box for now. Various reasons but I intend to get back to it later on. 😐 Now it's back to the P-40K.🙂 2
