I would like to convert an Eduard Mirage IIIC to an Atar 9C powered version. I have some old resin 9C 'burners from Eagle Design but haven't gotten up the courage to lop the tail off an Eduard kit to see if they fit.

SO, does anyone have any experience with this and whether it would work or other ideas?

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

According to Eagle Design's home page, their conversions do not fit the Eduard kit.

Then again, they might not have heard about "brute force" and "loads of putty"!

There is an Atar 9c from PJ Productions, that is supposed to fit the Eduard kit.

Armycast M&M does an Atar 9c burner and tail for the Eduard kit. I've got one. I haven't checked the fit but it's nicely cast.
