In search of TDR-1 pilotless WWII Drone
Greetings all!
It's been a while since I posted here, hi to my friends and everyone who helped me write an essay on cardmodelling a few years ago! Right now I'm curator of an Air Museum in Jamestown NY and one of our big obsessions is the TDR-1 drone from WW II, which was actually built at a secret location not far from the Jamestown airport. So does anyone know if there is a cardmodel of this oddity out there? Plus I plan to print models and give them away free to visitors. Do you have any suggestions for simple but attractive one-sheet or half sheet aircraft models? Something like those free Schreiber models John Hathaway used to give away with his orders would be ideal. Thanks all! |

Simple models
Mr. Book:
I suggest you go see Dave Winfields (AirDave) Cut and Paste Paper models' site He has a series of 2D airplanes that are easy for kids to do I used them for a museum kids program a few years ago in Lockport. I suggest that you talk with him to have him do a special sheet with the museum name and his info on it . Enjoy, Miles Note PM me with your phone Number for more info

[QUOTE=RyanShort1;793955]I'm not aware of one yet. Do you have access to decent drawings and photos in case one of our designers is up to the challenge? [QUOTE]
The museum has a set of 3-way plans, complete with cross sections at various points. They were obviously intended for model builders, so they are just about ideal. I'm still trying to figure out how we can digitize them as they are bigger than our scanner! I'll post them here when I get them, though! Thanks, Ryan!

If you can get the blueprints scanned, send me a copy. The only thing holding me back from designing the TDR-1 is my inability to find good 3-views.
