Lancaster with radial engines

Speaking of Radial engined Lancasters, I recently read about how Australia was looking at a R-2800 powered Lancaster before switching to the standard Avro Lincoln. Does anyone have any more information or perhaps drawings of what this may have looked like/performed like?
 
I have read a bit on this as well. The plan was definitely for the DAP Lancasters/Lincolns to be R-2800 powered. It is very tempting to model one - but would love to know if there were any official drawings etc.

Interestingly, there were also pushes from the USAAF for Australia to produce the P-47 using the same engine. A RAAF P-47 in P-51 scheme would also be interesting.
