Drawings for Ground Support Equipment and vehicles?

Post by spatialpro »

I'm trying to model a range of British military airfield Ground Support Equipment (GSE) and vehicles (e.g. tugs, bowsers) from the 1960s and '70s. The real obstacle for me is the lack of drawings/plans/blueprints. :wall:

Does anyone have such drawings? Does anyone know where I might go looking? *-) I've also gone asking over at The Pond. As a starting point I'm looking for drawings of Houchin power units and air starters.

Any and all help much appreciated... :help:

Many thanks :thumbsup:

Hi Scorpius, my fellow Dorset flight simmer!

Yes, indeed, that is handy. I might PM the person concerned to ask if he'll scan the instruction manual (hopefully including 3-view drawings) so I can recreate it in 3DS Max. ;)

cheers

Hi Leif,

Many thanks. I only just realised I had a PM from Pete! :$ For some reason I don't get PM notifications from The Pond. *-)
