You can try Bob Banka's Scale Model Research...but more than likely, you'll have to go find one and gather the info you need on your own. I did that with my Cessna.

It's pretty tough to get three views. This link will take you to a couple of profiles of the 2004's; just scroll down until you see them. You might call the Cessna Factory. Or get in contact with Puff Daddy (Randy) who is finishing up a super scale 182T for contest work. He would probably discuss scale documentation with you. I believe he is using photos taken by a dealer of 182's.

BigRod,
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed. There are a couple of decent rez Quicktime movies of the model [link=http://www.reesecreative.com/Site%20folder/Reesetheater.html]HERE[/link].

I know of the big Hostettler plan, but oddly enough, have never seen one. So I really can't compare the two, although, bigger is usually better, at least as far as scale detailing goes. More impressive in the air also.
Probably a lot to scratch with the Hostetler. But I do that anyway. And I'm not sure about accessories for the Hostetler kit, probably easily available, I would assume.
Anyone built one (or seen one??)

Hi Bigrod,

I have a large collection of digital photos of a couple of 2004 C182s. If you like, I can send them to you on a CD-ROM. Also, I have access occasionally to the aircraft, so if you want anything specific, just let me know.

Cheers,
Greg
