LF: 1/72 CASA 2.111 conversion(Heritage aviation)

[murfv]

Would anyone have the Heritage Aviation 1/72 CASA 2.111 conversion set for the Italeri He111 kit in their stash gathering dust that they would considering parting with?

I am looking for one in order to do a CASA from the Battle of Britain movie.

This is the one I am interested in -> https://www.scalemates.com/kits/heritage-aviation-models-casa-2-111d-conversion--206347


Thank you for looking

May be easier to use a cheap Revell new tool Lancaster as other than the exhausts on the Spanish Heinkel, the cowling is a standard Merlin power egg.

Yes, I am looking at that as an option and I do have a possible donor in the stash, I thought I would see if I could first get the conversion set first, a long shot but if you don't ask...

Thank you.

I might be able to sort out some spare Lancaster engines for use, but won't be able to check until next Saturday at the soonest as I'm away from home.

Is the HBM conversion set any good to you? They still sell on ebay though i think it's through his wifes account since Robert hasn't listed on his own account for a while.
I know hw used to supply the props but not sure if thats the case any longer, listing just shows the engines which are pretty good in reviews.

They look to be copies of the Heritage ones in a really horrible resin.

I've got some of the HBM stuff (his Manchester conversion in two iterations) and the resin is horrible. Didn't think anyone used polyester resin anymore.

Thank you for the input gents, all very helpful.
After looking at the Heritage Aviation conversions set more closely I think I will use donor merlin's from a surplus Lancaster and modify the exhausts to match those on the CASA merlin's, the HA set exhausts appear to be pretty standard unlike the quite distinctive ones used on the CASA.
I have seen the HBM conversion and I believe there would be more work involved in removing and replacing the exhausts compared to using the HA ones or a pair of donors from a Lancaster kit.

Thank you for the offer of spare Lancaster engines Wooksta but please do not go to any trouble as I have a couple of suitable donor Lancasters that I picked up suitable for such a project.
