I was wondering if anyone knew who would have adept technical drawings of the Spitfire MK1-Five that would give practiced details on parts such and fly ribs and spar and well equally the inner structure of the fuselage.

i know you guys might think im crazy but i am thinking on building a i-one of the spitfire or a close to 1-1. i am thinking on starting on a "scail" model first and then but going larger.

I was wondering if anyone knew who would have skilful technical drawings of the Spitfire MK1-V that would give practiced details on parts such and wing ribs and spar and well as the inner structure of the fuselage.

i know you guys might think im crazy but i am thinking on building a 1-1 of the spitfire or a close to i-1. i am thinking on starting on a "scail" model first and and then simply going larger.

I'chiliad also edifice a mk 5 and noodled around and got a full set which took awhile, found them in different places. Go the parts catalog so you can map drawing #due south to parts, you lot tin get that from the raf museum. As well recommend getting a copy of the volume; spitfire engineered by Paul Monforton, did all the engineering analysis of every inch of the plane
You lot need to become the mkI stuff 1st as the V is additive.

I would suggest you suscribe to the AirCorps Library, which is a repository of actual aircraft drawings by their respective manufacturers. The spitfire is well represented in its ain section with a easy to use search function. Exist aware that the drawings are all-encompassing, and requires some patience to sort through. AirCorps Library is a subscription service, which is constantly updating its resources. For $5.00US a calendar month, yous have access to a wealth of technical resources. Observe them at Classic Aircraft Blueprints, Drawings & Manuals | AirCorps Library and browse around. Most spitfire models are covered, merely may not be arranged in whatever particular order. For instance, if you search for "fly", yous will come across all drawings available for all spitfire wing configurations in the search results. That'due south where the patience comes in, simply the search feature will find a very specific item, if it exists as a cartoon. You also mention that y'all may try a scale model first. I build and wing r/c model aircraft, and I would suggest getting and edifice a spitfire kit, say i/viii scale. That would be around a lx -65" wingspan. The kits are designed pretty close to the real thing, and will requite you a very skilful thought of how the whole airframe goes together.

Howdy. Would you mind telling u.s. where you lot establish them please. And so that we may acquire them too. Cheers

I was wondering if anyone knew who would have good technical drawings of the Spitfire MK1-V that would give good details on parts such and wing ribs and spar and well as the inner structure of the fuselage.

i know you guys might remember im crazy but i am thinking on building a one-1 of the spitfire or a shut to 1-1. i am thinking on starting on a "scail" model get-go and then only going larger.

The RAF museum at Hendon have over 13000 Spitfire drawings. If you lot email the research department and inquire for the list they volition email it to you.
The Aircorps library is a good identify to start & get your head around the drawings. Though you can't print them off.

You lot can print individual drawings from the Aircorps Library. Open up a drawing and most the superlative tic on the print icon in the yellowish bar. A ruby box appears and you center the image to print. Information technology may require particular page sizes if y'all wish to print 1:1 scale. I usually impress particular areas of a drawing on 8.5" x 11" paper and they come out fine. View attachment 519627

Hi. Thanks. I missed that. Volition take some other look

Y'all will need a basic understanding of how to read blueprints and yous must remember that the British and Americans use unlike datum points (British and Europeans utilize kickoff bending and Americans and Asians use third angle) for their drawings so first you need to read a reference like

7 Deviation Between First Angle And Third Bending Projection - Viva Differences to get a handle on the differences.

Then you need to report the drawing practices of the mean solar day - as far as I know no-one has found a re-create of the Supermarine cartoon office manual and so you volition need to make some educated guesses - especially because Supermarine were different to everyone else, as were Boeing and a number of other firms. NAA, Curtiss and Bong were similar to each other. DH were very different from Supermarine merely are still Brit and then some concepts are like.

I may exist able to help with understanding the Supermarine drawings having spent years turning them into CAD drawings & researching the note & specs

Give thanks yous on behalf of all for that offer.

I no longer accept anything to do with Spitfires, fortunately for me, so I personally will not demand any assistance but I am sure y'all will be inundated with queries in the near and distant future from others. The one affair I would dearest to see though is any of the Supermarine Drawing Office and Technology Office manuals, not for time to come reference only to confirm or reject the assumptions I have made, based on other manufacturers documents of the period. Some other manufacturers documents are on this site and I hope I will be adding a couple of Australian ones in the near future which are based on, or direct copies of, Bristol manuals. I take scanned and cleaned these for another person and he is still to make a decision.

The great thing about this forum is the large number of qualified people who freely give of their aid in order to keep history and technology alive. I accept learned much from many and provide what assistance I tin whenever I tin equally a thank you to those who take helped me.

The modern practice of paying forrad is well practiced hither.

The modern practise of paying forwards is well skilful here.

Hi, I have a re-create of the Vickers Supermarine Procedure Specifications & Data Sheets if that would be of utilize. I've never heard of a drawing office manual, everything 1 would need is either on the drawings or in the VS Spec manual. Thank you

• #12

• #13

Thanks very much for that. Having had a quick look It appears to exist the DH version of the VS Procedure Specifications & Data Sheets, contains the same blazon of info.

• #14

Hi Tobi
If you could post a re-create of that it would be most appreciated
May I advise you post it to Aircraft blueprint reading as that is an existing thread on the subject and where I hope to postal service the DAP/Bristol cloth
