The straight piece of wing that connects two fuselages when building a twin fuselage or twin hull on a flying boat.
I don't know the technical term for it, looks like a bridge to me or the wing from a CL 415 which is straight
Then all you would need is to cut it to size.

But that's not a commercial proposition for Colin as each one would be unique to its own type. One for a twin Bv-222 would have about five times the chord of a Twin Mustang.

Exactly Kit, something McColm appears to be completely incapable of comprehending, despite numerous warnings :banghead:

This is supposed to provide Colin with suggestions for commercial viable products that would return the investment on funding the development and production costs whilst providing a profit.

Actually it would be nice to see the kits reissued again especially the P1154

Would 1/72 Fulton Gear & decals for the B-17 be commercially viable?

Interesting.  Given what Intermountain were i'm surprised the photographer was allowed to take pictures.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Here's an idea Colin.

Since A-Model now have a 1/144th scale Canberra in relatively large-scale production and availability, why not scale down your P.12 conversion to match? 1/144th seems to be a growing field of interest at the moment.

The Red Deans wouldn't need to be re-scaled, you could use the 1/72 Firestreaks.  ;D ;)

Funnily enough, I've just been looking at that. Not quite, but the Firestreaks in the 1/100th Tamiya Lightning would be the right size for 1/144th Red Deans...

An interesting idea, wish the A model kits were a bit better though! Agree 1/144 is getting quite popular, and is good for larger subjects to.

There are also plenty of Hunters about to scale your various conversions down to, and an excellent 1/144th Lightning has just come out too. Another thing you could do is a B Mk.2 conversion and PR/tanker conversions for the Micro-Mir Valiant.
