Hi st George
They are the right drawings but need to be scanned at 300 dpi to show enough detail for whats expected for FSX.
Regards
Rick

Hi Garry
Yes most likely but i cannot make a model from a drawing where the lines are 2" thick to scale as 80% of the detail is lost.
FS2002 was the last sim where it was possible.
If i build one it needs to be accurate so drawings need to be sharp and large (like the 748 drawings where) think they where "warpaint" ones and pretty accurate
Otherwise as soon as you release anything you get bombarded with this and that are wrong etc etc which i hate.
The Wasp has a lot of small parts which don't show on a 640 x 480 size image is what i mean.
not so bad on airliners etc as they have almost no external detail as they need to be aerodynamic.
if you look at a wasp up close it looks like a flying junk yard of parts
Regards
Rick

Understood.
Thick lines are a problem
There certainly is a lot of bits on the Wasp and that'll mean of course in efect lots of liitle seperate models that will have to fit in the space...and look right from ALL angles
Good luck

Hi Rick
I probably have the Aviation News Wasp drawings (amongst many others!).
If you still want them, let me know and I will dig them out and scan them for you.
Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul
If they are easy to find it won't hurt to have another set as they may be better than the ones the guys dug up
