PB 1W conversion kits
Posted by fuhrman on Thursday, October 20, 2005 11:58 AM
Has anyone ever made a PB 1W conversion kit in any scale? I imagine it would mostly consist of the radar dome. Any information would be appreciated.

I've always been interested in doing this conversion also. Never bought the kit but Paragon did a resin conversion. They were out of biz for a while but now they are back. Here's a link I bookmarked.

Gary,

Thanks for the tip. My dad was with VX-4 and left me a few pics of the PB 1W.

Paragon has a 1/72 PB-1W Conversion (B-17G) kit# 72004
1/48 PB-1W Conversion (B-17G) kit# 48048 (TBA)
You can contact Neil directly paragondesigns@hotmail.co.uk
I recently recieved some 1/48 B-17 sets from him and I'm highly impressed with them! The detail really speaks for the craftmanship that went into them!! You can bet I'll be ordering from him again :)
