Fuselage: Heller DC-6 suitably modified. Apart from shortening, black areas and lines give an indication where these modifications have been done.
Wings: Inboard section to dihedral break, Airfix Lancaster plus bottom outer section. Remainder, Heller DC-6. Rather surprisingly, these sections matched up perfectly, both in plan and aerofoil section, and required no filling or trimming. The most difficult area was removing any trace of the DC-6 nacelle above the wing.
Fin/rudder: 90 mm of Lancaster outer wing with tapered insert to increase the tip chord.
Tailplane: Airfix B-29 tailplane with tapered insert to increase the root chord.
Engines: Lincoln items of unknown origin but extensively modified to suit the Tudor.

Holy crap mate that's insane. Love it

Lovely work there Fred, nice combo of kits to get the result you have

Awesome stuff, Fred! Looking forward to seeing the end result.

Incredible Fred - I salute a true modeller!

Where did all the bits come from to build this "Franken-Tudor"? You must have a decent scrap box!

Cheers
