Hello everybody on the 2nd evening of Advent,
before I take off my
Crawler glasses again, I took care of the dimensions of further components that I don't want to use from the
Paper kit, but will scratch from
Plastic profiles.
For this purpose I've found a number of NASA drawings in the
Yahoo-LUT-Group, from which I could take important dimensions, such as these here with the frame structure (
Chassis Structure Lower Level) for the construction of the
Underbody (Sheet 4):

This initially concerns the dimensions of the green marked
Wide Flange Beams in the
Diagonal Box 3 & 4, which have the following dimensions,
Wide 18'' = 457 mm =
2,9 mm (1:160)
Deep 24'' = 610 mm =
3,8 mm (1:160)
as well as the blue marked profiles with the following dimensions:
Wide 12'' = 305 mm =
1,9 mm (1:160)
Deep 24'' = 610 mm =
3,8 mm (1:160)
Unfortunately, the dimensions of the yellow, light blue and red marked profiles cannot be found in this drawing, which is why I have to search through other drawings, which is a bit tedious.
For the blue marked
Beams 40-58 I've found
I-Profiles (4,0 x 2,0 mm) from Evergreen, which are very close to the original dimensions.
The red marked outer
Longitudinal Box Girders I have now found in the
Sectional view (AD-AD, Sheet 34) in this drawing.

Their dimensions are:
Height 2' = 610 mm =
3,8 mm (1:160)
Width 1'-6,25''= 464 mm =
2,9 mm (1:160)
Since there is no such Box profile by
Evergreen, I will use a
Square profile 3,2 x 4 mm instead.
That's it for today, the remaining profiles I'll still find as well.
