1/72 - Fairey Delta FD.2 by Dora Wings - released

Recommended Posts

Some very good choices for British orientated modellers. The Wallace should be a better alternative to the old Frog kit, will go  in my 504 Squadron theme collection. Now has anyone got any decent shots of 504 Squadron Meteor F.4s?

Hello everybody.
Now I'm starting work on the project.
There are many different aircraft projections and photographs that I made in Cosford.
But also there are a lot of questions.
  For example

- the correct sections of the fuselage with dimensions

-what does fixing the nose and fuselage look like
- thickness of wings and keel.
And so on...
Maybe someone has more information?
I will be glad to any help.
Thank you.

You may get some answers here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SONACA

I recall when Concorde was being built, they had to go to them (as Avions Fairey) for the permission to use the 'droop snoot' as it came from the FD2. All the FD2 data went to Avions Fairey.

Hi Eugen,

 

I think this is the book you need, which contains very good drawings:

I was thinking the same - the book has very nice drawings - and provides more interesting subjects for future kits ;-)

Just noticed this announcement early morning (my time) and have now realised it’s an old and delayed thread. Hopefully it will gather some more momentum in 2019 as the modelling world really needs more exotic test aircraft. 

 

Cheers.. Dave

Work is progressing slowly.
Unfortunately, little information. :(

Good to hear is is still ongoing. I am sure several Britmodellers will have photos of the one at Cosford that might be if help. I think I may have some if that would help.

Thank you, I have enough photos from Cosford. I myself took a lot of pictures in the museum. Not enough drawings with a cross section of the fuselage. Basically you have to build a 3D model from photographs, which slows down the process.
