(B) FROM THE ARCHIVES:

A collection of Blueprint archives is available online for educational and research purposes.

The blueprint archives include all original scans from microfilm, manuals, reports, specifications, and photos. For details or inquiries, just drop me a line at hughtechnotes@gmail.com.

You have the option to purchase any individual Blueprint archive or the complete Blueprint collection, which is approximately 200GB, for only £89.00 (GBP) throughout November. The regular price is £439.10, so you save over 75%. This is a genuine offer.

PayPal is the preferred payment method, and download links will be sent to the recipient once payment is received. [PAYPAL LINK]… please include a contact email.

(C) ORDINATE/CAD COLLECTION:

This is the full list of all the available professionally prepared Cad/Ordinate projects as featured in the many blog articles. It is essentially a comprehensive dimensional study. These projects are accurately derived from original manufacturers’ drawings and blueprints. This compilation took many years. All sets are available for download. They are designed to help you get a head start on your project and will save you weeks of work.

1. P-51 Mustang Ordinate/CAD
2. B-25 Mitchell Ordinate/CAD
3. F6F Hellcat Ordinate/CAD
4. F4F Wildcat Ordinate/CAD
5. Grumman Goose Ordinate/CAD
6. New P-39 Airacobra Ordinate/CAD. Updated June 2023.
7. New P-38 Lightning Ordinate/CAD. Updated June 2023. Probably the most comprehensive dimensional study ever done for the P-38 Lightning.

Thousands of ordinate dimensions are recorded in Excel spreadsheets (mm and inch), DWG drawing profiles, DWG fully dimensioned professionally prepared drawings, supporting blueprints and CAD 3D model files (Parasolid, 3d DWG, STP). All spreadsheets are fully editable so you can adapt the data to suit your own requirements. For details on the purchase, just contact me at hughtechnotes@gmail.com.

Note: These datasets are only available from this blog. Open to offers… Any reasonable offer will be considered… Just get in touch.

The CAD/Ordinate datasets include all study data in CAD, STP, STL and DWG formats alongside a comprehensive list of all known dimensions in Excel spreadsheets.

(D) P-51 MUSTANG MODELS: TAILWHEEL MECHANICAL

Incredibly accurate full-size CAD models professionally prepared, in STL, STP, Parasolid X-T and 3d DWG formats. All internal components, bushings, nuts and bolts are also modelled. Each of these models includes detailed 2D assembly drawings (Autocad DWG) with a full parts list.
