Wow- that will be quite a challenge as they are two completely different aircraft. Albacore is longer, higher, with a wider wingspan and different engine.

Re: Blackburn Roc - IXO Skua conversion

Excellent job. As one who frequently makes adjustments to diecast aircraft this inspires me to take the next logical step---a complete transformation. Next up I am going to convert my IXO Wildcat into a Corgi Gladiator that crashed into a mountainside and was rent asunder. Wish me luck.

Re: Blackburn Roc - IXO Skua conversion

Just curious, how did you go about flattening out uplifted wing tips?
