Title: 1/72 English Electric P.8 3d Printed Conversion Kit
Post by: scautomoton on May 12, 2025, 12:03:57 PM
Hello all,

so I am happy to say I now have the P.8 conversion kit ready for sale. For those who may not have seen my recent effort, here is the finished article, and an example of the kit and donor parts:

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AP1GczN7lv36ZxoAfudS8W7-x3601xbg-RQqpITtmFy1uxFqXXJDj2uRYRTKzPWCfXhfvuXXpcOpAUo7v1R7xmypL3vAJREMbez2kj5CnyYHFaTeBPYquh0=w2400)(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AP1GczPv44zEnxEhBE8BIQNBiKXOsflhyZxWLpYODhfUbB2EOx22wkYC8kNC54HmpkChKaHGUlRc9BIbZltN9RYZvQzH0OjVKlI4awMSWkX4VIHSRpzPfrQ=w2400)

The kit consists of the entire fuselage and landing gear, plus some new wingtips and 2x vacuformed canopies. The donor kit is recommended as the 2013> Airfix Lightning F.2A or F.6 kit. If you want to attempt to use another donor kit, feel free, and let me know how it goes! Again, it doesn't come with decals, since a) the donor kit does, and b) I know you ruffians have shoeboxes full of them ready and waiting. On the basis that the instructions run to several pages I'll provide them electronically preferably, unless you're desperate for a paper copy, in which case just ask.

Price of a kit posted within the UK will be £23.50. For international shipping I'll just need to get a quote for wherever you are. The usual Paypal friends and family route is preferred.
