P.1154 RN Version

[Gondor]

I think this falls into the swap shop category.

I am wanting to build the RN version of the P.1154, that's the two seater version. The problem is that I only have the single seat RAF version. So one option is to offer my Maintrack Hanger Productions P.1154 RAF as a direct swap for the similar Maintrack P.1154 RN kit.

Another option is to find out through drawings and build notes exactly what the differences are between the two versions, length forward of the wing, length aft of the wing, stuff like that, so that I can convert the kit I have into the RN version of the P.1154.

Oh yes, the kit I have and the kit I am looking for are both 1/72 scale and both vac-form. Any constructive help will be greatly appreciated.

I've got both Maintrack kits in the stash and I can tell you there's quite a bit of difference between the two Alistair, one big thing apart from being a tandem two-seater, the main gear are housed in wing Kuchemann fairings, not as in the bicycle u/c the RAF version got.  Not sure where to find drawings of it though, but a good source would be Geoff Baker (Thorvic)

Already sent AW406 drawings which is the version Alastair is thinking of 

As for the Maintrack Kit, it's OK ish but lacks the engine nozzle definition of the Freightdog version, I would study the drawings I sent and the ones in Project Cancelled to get to understand the features

The Kuchemann fairings should not be much of a problem, depending on how I intend to display the model. Being a plastic kit it should be easily modifiable.

As it needs to be converted the basic kit will be the basis Thorvic. The Freightdog version will be a detail part guide for such things as the nozzles just as you suggest. Also, thanks for the drawing.
