Avro Blackpool: single tail Lancaster

[ysi_maniac]

Quick and dirty drawing in order to give some idea.



Models 1/96 Lancaster from Frog (I think) and a very obscure (and vile) 1/120 B-29 IDEA model (revell produced this too).

Wonderfull! love it already! please continue...I'm also planning to do a "slighty altered" Lancaster.

You'd be much better going for a fin similar to that of an Avro Tudor.  At least it'd have an Avro design profile.

Tudor prototype.

Not too far from B-29.

Is it called the Blackpool because it has a great towering tail?

He will probably come up with some tall tail about it

The mid-upper gun turret will be mounted on a VERY tall nest of girders so that it can fire over the tip of that monster fin............

Another option could be to have a couple of staggered and offset turrets so that each has their own arc of fire on either side of the fin.

Nah, that's FAR too practical.

Very 'Catch the Pigeon' 



Okay, not quite, but you know what I mean!

Completely off topic, but I just added Stop The Pigeon to my list of GB ideas for next years vote.
