Belcher Bits
elmayerle:
So tempting to consider applying those bits to a Shackleton.

Somehow you would have to modify the nose canopy, as the Shackleton is 2 feet wider than a Lancaster ----
As I found out when I built this below
elmayerle:
A carefully scuplted adapater piece would work, it would add length, unless you cut the Shackleton nose back a frame or two, but it should work. Of course, if a unique appearance instead of a smooth one is required, you could do something like the NC-141A when testing the F-16's radar.

Agreed --- there is a frame behind the nose that is close, I had cut the fuselage so it had a tab on each side which I could manipulate, putty did the rest. Once I get my Belcher set of noses (via Carl) I'll be able to see if the same method is possible.

It would be cool to see one in full TCA civil livery.
