Personally, I don't need the conversion as I already have something on this front, though others might be interested. 

That said, the engines could be interesting to use on other Wright R-1820 powered platforms such as:


Or simply do S-2Ts for other users such as Australia or Canada?

  • DC-3/C-47 - a different sort of turbo-Dak
  • B-17 - get two sets and make a turbo-Fortress (maybe a firebomber?)
  • Grumman HU-16 Albatross?
  • Lockheed Hudson?

Those are four fine concepts. :smiley:
Available in 1/72 ?

Not much.  They do appear to have a Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/people/鄒萬懷/100001241766564?hc_ref=ARQG_w9TwbF9-iZNpmuNZhDa67OrqThq8FOsz4og0kC5PMCG_DRrcltOouUFNQxM39Y (https://www.facebook.com/people/鄒萬懷/100001241766564?hc_ref=ARQG_w9TwbF9-iZNpmuNZhDa67OrqThq8FOsz4og0kC5PMCG_DRrcltOouUFNQxM39Y)

I have also seen their products for sale in some Taiwanese online shops such as these:
