Default RE: Looking for Corsair tail wheel build


ORIGINAL: flukester

What a fantastic thread. Just discovered it and I'm just starting an ESM 1/6 Corsair. I can't seem to be able to download the drawings and scale them up to 1/6 scale. Can anyone help me with the drawings?? The build thread is just great. I'm kind of a novice at scratch bulding something this cool, so please bear with me. I could definately use some help on these drawings.

Thanks in advance,,,flukester
Fluke,
I used the dwgs posted and they seemed to work pretty well on my ESM Corsair. The dwgs said 1/8 scale but when I printed it seemed bigger and spot on for the corsair. It was my first attempt at doing one of these and folling the steps in the thread and some patience and it worked pretty well. Here's a couple pics of the tail wheel and the finished model. Took 2 months to put it together and pimp it out with sound, sliding canopy, and turning pilot's head. [8D]
