just picked up a copy of the history of the Canadair North Star and the latest FSM with the preview on the C-54.... and the 300+ plus kits in the stash get pushed back by one more new project...
sooooo
who has any ideas of a Merlin conversion for the new 1/144 kit so I can have a North Star ?
You probably could kitbash the Welsh Models Argonaut's Merlins with the Minicraft C-54 to get a North Star.

Another reference you might like is "National Treasure; History of Trans Canada Airlines". By Pigott. Discusses development of North Star for TCA, some photos. Cheers,

And Welsh will probably sell them to you separately:
The old Crown Lancaster? It's still in the Minicraft line.
