Anyone got any good 3 view drawings of the Skua?

I went on to Airwar.ru and although the quality os good it is obvious that it has been a large drawing scanned into several different files which means the end of the wing is chopped off etc...

Thing is doing a search I can't find much better.

Cheers

Can send you some drawings if you want, started the project but not got very far.

I'll pm you with my e-mail address.

Hi.

For the Skua/Roc I recommend the Mushroom book on the type, in my view the best publication available on the type from a technical viewpoint (and I don't say that because I happened to make the profiles for it!).

Note that Skua drawings available on the Internet have some errors, compare this made from some Russian drawings):



with this (the above corrected using offical documents, etc.):



Here's a profile of a well-known Skua, sure would like to be able to fly it in Il-2!

I have to say that while I have never ever been attracted to this aircraft, and I AM a sucker for ugly ducks and lost causes, that that is a beautiful profile and paint scheme, and I'd love to see her in the air.

You have reformed me.

Thanks guys. Preliminary work has started now.

[Redcanuck]

Awesome!

I've been hoping someone would take on this very historically significant A.C.

I thought these were interesting...

[XabaRus-1]

Very good. They will be very helpful.

I've PMed Magpie as I suppose this should be transferred to the WIP new planes section.

I will hopefully have a little something to show after the weekend.

Good to know this aircraft is being made. A very interesting aircraft, indeed.

Nice article in the Aeroplane; people at the Bod

Its one of the ugliest planes i've ever seen, but i wouldn't mind seeing it fly.
