DaveHi all, I'm on the hunt for aftermarket Halifax bomber extended wingtips. Looks like both companies I have found are out of business (Aeroclub & Alleycat). Any other suggestions?

Alec KGood luck with it. Not sure how complicated the wingtips are, but if there is a will there is a way 😉. And welcome to SCM, hope to see you posting some project pics 👍

gorbyI think you would be surprised how easy it is to make something like this. You just need a sheet of plastic card of a suitable thickness and a few basic modelling tools. You could even use the photo from the Allycat page to get the correct shape.
If you give it a go, I'm happy to offer help.

Dave AutorThanks you two for your help thus far. I found plans this morning so I'll print them off and rely on them for shape and size.
