Hello gents,

The Murph's U-2 is 1/51 scale, so you can enlarge it to 1/33 and you may get a decent result I think.

However, my question is, was there any proper scale (1/33) model of Lockheed U-2A/C/D issued through the years at all or not?

I couldn't find any which seems to be a bit weird as for the famous airplane which got onto the first pages of the newspapers all around the world almost 60 years ago.

The only info I found on the internet was that somebody tried to issue a Lockheed U-2 in Eastern Germany (early '70s?) but the whole thing got stopped by communist censorship and publishing company was closed down!


Anyway, back to the project...

I going through all kinds of photos of U-2 because there are only a few with the correct angle I need. That is to get the correct shape of the fuselage and cross-sections just like on 1st photo.

Also, there are only very few photos/drawings of the painting scheme I am doing. Please see the bottom one on the 2nd attachment (should have 66722 no. on the tail).
(The drawing I found comes from Hungarian modeling site: modernwartech.blog.hu)

kind regards

Cybermac
