Old Airfix WW I conversions
« on: June 05, 2016, 08:21:46 AM »
I have some old Airfix magazines and here are some issues that have WW I vehicle conversions in them:

Nov 1968 WW I salvage tank

Apr 1969 MK II supply tank and MK V female

Apr 1968 may have a MK IV conversion in it

October 1969 Ford T ambulance 1/32

Jul 1969 pigeon loft conversion from a B type bus

Apr 1970 Rolls Royce armored car scratch 1/32

Apr 1971 military model T's 1/32

Sep 1971 Austin armored car scratch 1/32

Feb 1973 Ford t hucks started conversion

Jun 1978 Karrier Charabanc conversion

There is an Airfix modeling site online somewhere you might be able to get more info on these conversions there. I did the WW I salvage and Supply tank conversions decades ago. This is when the Airfix WW I tank was the only WW I tank kit around. I hope this of some interest.

Is it possible to get some scans? The pigeon loft conversion, the Ford-T Ambulance and the Hucks Starter would be of great interest for me.
Thank you!

Sorry I can't do scans. However, there are scans of the hucks starter on my posting of this on the Landshipsforum modeling section.

I forgot some years ago I converted the Ehmer MK IV Female to a MK V Female using the above posting.
