K'Tesh Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Ok, forgive me if I'm going with balsa and ply, but I'd really like to get as accurate of a representation as I can using those materials (imagine a Guillow's kit). I've see flying representations online, but they look like a model, they have model's modifications to be able to fly. Whereas, I'm looking to do a static model. So, flying alterations are less than desireable. I've got side views, I've got top/down views, but I don't have the cross sections. Anybody got them? Thanks!

csavaglio Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 So, if you want to see some great work that was unfortunately never finished, check out Ruzlkampf's build.... http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=25525&st=0&p=213489&hl=blackbird&fromsearch=1&&do=findComment&comment=213489 He stopped on it a while back to pursue other interests. I'm not sure if he still cruises through here or not, but he can probably help. I can suggest the Blackbird Photo Scrapbook. It's got a small version of some blueprints that has cross sections on it, but it may be a bit small to use. Either way, the $13 cost is way too little for the book.....it's worth 5 or 10 times that for anyone building a model of the Sr-71. http://www.amazon.com/Lockheed-Blackbird-Family--12-Scrapbook/dp/1580071511/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1302742235&sr=8-1 Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTroll Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Go to www.Ecardmodels.com and grab Ken West's 1:32 SR-71 (paper model) for $12.00. I suspect it would form a great basis for a 1:16 plastic version. Ken's research is sxcellent and his models "dead on" so it might save you a bunch of design work.

K'Tesh Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 Thanks for the info guys. I loved that 1/48th XB-70. I might have to switch back to paper kits (I've built 1/1 scale card models of birds, including the Osprey). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
