Scooter Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Hi all. Question: Back in the late 80's, there was a company called "C-Scale" who put out a white metal conversion set for the Airfix Westland Scout 1/72 kit. One set converted a Scout to a Wasp, and another was a weapons set for a Scout with AS-11 ATGWs and skid mounted MG's. I think there was a roof mounted sight for the ATGWs too. Anyone remember these sets/ideas on who to try to find them from? AC
mquan Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 I vividly remember those C Scale conversion sets including the one you mention. However, I really doubt you will find any FS today, and those that come up on the notorious auction site go for triple digit numbers......
PaulBradley Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 Mike's right - they are as rare as hen's teeth nowadays. However, all is not lost. I'll refer you to Model Aircraft Monthly, Vol. 6 No. 6, which has an article on how to convert the Airfix Scout to a Wasp using plastic card and rod, along with the Airwaves Scout/Wasp detail set. Airwaves also does vacform Scout and Wasp canopies - each is different. Those are available from Hannants. MAM 6/6 is still available as a back issue, for 3.50 GB Pounds,from the SAMI website: http://www.sampublications.com/frames/mam_backissue_in_f.htm Hope this helps!
PaulBradley Posted December 25, 2009 Report Posted December 25, 2009 You're welcome, Adam! I look forward to seeing photos of the completed model, and your Wessex for that matter! :)
