patricksparks Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I wanted to see if anyone might have a good clear head-on image of the Bombardier's loading chart that is mounted on the ceiling of the nose compartment in the B-17s, I believe the chart was the same on both the F and G models. I want to make a decal for it... Any help would be really appreciated !!! Thank you, Pat LSP_K2, Uncarina and coogrfan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldbaldguy Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Wow! That whole bomb dropping thing is a lot more complicated than opening the bay doors and yelling bombs away. coogrfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 (edited) Somebody (other than me) needs to do a spell check: NOTE: THE SAFE GLIDE ANGLES ARE BASED ON AN AIRPLANE GROSS WEIGHT OF 40,000 LBS WOTH POWER OFF AND WINDMILLING PROPELLERS.

No spell check in those days... Then again, that can also be a good thing! Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 If you read the one that’s in the airplane (it is legible), you’ll see it is spelled correctly. The one Thierry posted, while informative, isn’t the right shape and contains the spelling error. It’s valuable for the information therein but is most likely a recreation.

The fact that some folks have time to catch minutia like this and discuss it is..... impressive. Tell you what - shrink the placard down to 32nd scale and then circle back if it remains an issue.

Juggernut Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) I can read the 1/32 F-16 Stencils that I've printed on my ALPS Printer; albeit I need a magnifying glass to read them. Someone with younger/better eyesight may not. I am a technical writer and things like that jump right out. Edited March 27 by Juggernut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil88 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 And what would be the dimensions of this loading table, to be able to reproduce it in the 1/32 version, either the real dimensions, or those already at 1/32 ? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I will look to see if I can find a part number for it. If I can, then someone can look for the blueprint at AirCorpsLibrary.com and that should provide the information you need.

thierry laurent Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Without the specific dimensions it does not look very complicated to extrapolate them from the ones of the top window located close to it. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I would do in Illustrator. See what fits and how it looks then make size changes based on photographs and content arrangement.
