I think it was his first post and he didn't post it at the correct place.Don't worry about it,please.

What is the firm of the MM Mk.3 trainer?

Hi Wurg
Its the old Novo kit (ex FROG) .Its a very old kit hence the need for the info,
I have to replace the undercarriage ,wheels, engine and scratch all of the cocpit area plus mods on some of the fusilage and wings and as i am doing it as a glider tug i have to find info on the attachment areas .As yet i have had no luck but i hope one of our wonderfull peeps will come to my rescue.

Now understand.I remember the old kit.Unfortunately it is true there isn't much info on it.I would like to help you with this but haven't found anything so far.But I'm still trying.

I'm guessing that 3-view line drawings and silhouettes wouldn't be able to provide the kind of detail you're after?

I have found a drawing (but not 1/72) and have yesterday found some photos that have helped a lot .I think the only area that i still need photos of is the towing arangement and possibly cocpit.

Using a Xero device it's easy to resize all drawings into a scale you need.

Still nothing.

These pics of MM I've found here:
