Try this. All drawings are different in terms of detail but the drawings for each respective AC are usually in scale with each other.

Best three view site

Seriously,

This is the best site around. Don't worry about it being in Russian just navigate it a bit. What they do is put flags of the planes in the section so it is very easy to come across the WW2 stuff. The best!

Great thread, Pat :ernae:

But if you can find good drawings of what you want to build, sometimes there is no better option than spending a little money. Especially when some of the 3-views you find are crappy scans of published material, or 1:96 scale resized to fit on a postcard.
Just my opinion....

Thanks very much guys

A good opinion it is too. As it happens the a/c I'm looking so far isnt covered by decent plans so I'll look for a book.
The ACC have spent a small fortune between us on airfield books!

I wasn't going to try and model an aircraft again after the Horsa, but have fallen in love with this so may give it a go...

Now an Auster would be very fine! :ernae: You might find this link of use - check the post from Oolilissima at the bottom of the first page. http://www.scale-models.co.uk/tutorials/432-shaping-bending-perspex-sheet.html

Don't forget the pilot's notes, I think Crecy publish the Auster ones.
