Anyone have any Spitfire technical drawings?

[Crow]

Hiya all.

For a long term hobby, and to start spending some of my money before the wife can spend it all on horses and shopping, I`ve started putting together my own static spitfire MKVIII, to hopefully one day well into the future to look like the beauty below.

Well to be honest at the moment its little more than a complete instrument panel, controls, seat and some other odds and ends I`ve located through the years, but its about to hopefully accelerate.

Does anyone have any drawings of the fuselage frames so I can get them fabricated and get this spit to start taking shape?

It`ll probably take a year or so to build up the fuselage to start with, so if anyone can point me to any of the frames from bulkhead frame 5 to the tail frame 18 I`d be most grateful.

Willing to pay for copying and postage if they arent in digital form.

cheers for any assistance!

There is a seller on eBay who hails from New Zealand as I remember who sells technical drawings of all sorts of stuff including many of the WW2 German aircraft, cant remember his I.D but he is definitely from NZ.
Other alternative is to contact Hendon Archives and see what they have to offer plus Duxford may be able to help with info.

Hi i dunno if it deleted my last message but in short, i have some technical drawings of a spitfire II with merlin III engines. Its just a cross secton so i dunno if it will be any good. If u want them though, tell me and ill scan and send them to ur email if u provide it. it isnt in colour and is only a photocopy of original drawings i got from work experience i done in Duxford air museum last yr when i was 15.
