Skyraider AEW Mk1 (AD-4W) scale drawings what´s out there?

[Stefan E]

Looking for scale drawings of the Skyraider AEW Mk1.

I have the Warpaint Skyraider book, and there are AEW Mk1 drawings in this book by Peter Scott, but is there any more drawings I can find on the AD-4W ?

 

If you consider any Skyraider variant, which scale drawing (3-,4-,5-,6-view) is regarded as the most accurate and where can I find it ?

 

There are two books I do not have, that I think maybe have good drawings in them:

SAM datafile #26 Skyraider

AJ press Skyraider  #110 by Adam Jarski.

 

Can someone comment on the drawings in these books?

Do you have this book?

Douglas A-1 Skyraider cz.1: Historia Narodzin Pokladowych Samolotow Szturmowych (Monografie Lotnicze 110)

There are drawings in it, of the AD-4W, among others.

That’s the AJ Press one mentioned in the first post -who did the drawings, in case you have it within reach?

According to the book, the AD-4W drawings are factory drawings from Douglas.

Thanks, Larry!

Unfortunately, I doubt that any AD-4W drawings, even those reportedly based on factory drawings, are accurate with respect to the unique details, although some are certainly better than others. For a summary of my work so far, see http://tailspintopics.blogspot.com/2018/06/ad-4w-skyraider.html
