We have just packed some of Red Roo's venture into the unknown... we have a conversion set for a Buffalo DC-4G fire bomber (Tanker 15) and a Conair DC-6C fire bomber (Tanker 51). It comprises a resin tank,some bits and pieces and a set of decals for both. Instructions are to our usual standard.
Once we gauge the demand, if any, we may sell the tank separately. Join our mail list via the website to be kept updated on exact release details. we will have them at Expo. PS - you saw it here first!

Well I would be most interested Ed, as I am sure many of the other Fire Bomber fans will be. There is one man in particular though that I am sure will be making a bee-line to you for these conversions.....Knotty, you are up :D

Considering Ed also posted this over on a Forum dedicated to 1/72 aircraft, I am assuming 1/72

In that case, I'll be up for a DC-6 set..
