XF-12/RC-2 Rainbow schematics

Hi all.

I'm trying to find RC-2/XF-12 Rainbow schematics, for an upcoming profile I'm making. If anyone can provide me with some I'd appreciate it.

Hi Pong. Does that mean you're only looking for side elevation data? Here's a couple (Top: RC-2. Bottom: XF-12) and a nice colour shot showing nose detail of the XF-12...






(Wings 1994, Flying 1948 and Air Pictorial 1981)

Yes I'm searching for side schematics of the plane. Thanks for the schematics and the photo, I'll try to enlarge the schems and if I'm lucky it won't look pixelated or blurred.


Also thanks for the photo Verner, it'll be a big help in getting the correct lighting of the profile.

Graeme do you have any more schematics of the Rainbow, this time with panel lines? I just need panel lines on the profile.

Sorry Pong, can't help you there mate. There was an artist/author by the name of Mike Machat that drew a detailed drawing of the Rainbow and shown in an issue of Wings. Possibly he drew more, I don't know, but maybe it's worth googling?
