Where to get dimensional drawings

[Johnwa]

Morning all, I have been inspired by our Kiwi member Kittyhawk to attempt to build wooden models of aircraft. The first problem encountered was that of dimensions and angles. I know that I could guess them, and for a generic model thats fine, but when building exact replica models you reallyneed the numbers. I noticed on Kittyhawks photographs of his fantastic work that he did have printed drawings of aircraft, so they must be available, I just don't have a clue where to get them from. Ideas anyone? I didnt pm Kittyhawk directly as everyone deserves their own space and I didnt want to bother him, maybe he will respond to this post Cheers. John

They sell some stuff, but they have a massive amount of free stuff to.
