Well postwar, but... Does anyone have a PDF of any of the various TO-1-B-52[model]-1 manuals? I was going to order them on CD from eFlightManuals, but they decided to get out of the Manual on CD business right before I went back to place my order.

Gents, the project is slowly coming along... won't have markings or window-"glass" done yet, but I hope to have 'em ready for a pic or two next weekend. Thanks again for your help!

This may be a stupid question, but... Sources always toss around squadron ID's, but seldom tell you anything about how many planes of any given type were in a typical squadron--notable exception being the "Schedules of the Naval Aeronautical Organization" at Naval Aeronautical Organization...

Thanks, guys--do either of you know of pattern diagrams floating around the Net? The kit is an old Skywave SP6, if that tells you anything about what I have to work with--color me paranoid, but I tend to not have much faith in kit manufacturers' pattern charts. So, 613/603 over 601 it is... at...

I'm working up a pair of 1/700 RAF Coastal Command B-17s for some naval wargamers I know, and find myself a little unsure of the kit instructions. I can see that it's the standard white underside, with a dark-green and gray top pattern--but does anyone have specs about the exact shades and...

Anyone have anything about IJNAF heavy bombers? I already checked J-Aircraft and struck out, and can't seem to find the directions for my Tamiya "Battle of Malaya" set's G3Ms and G4Ms--and I think my reluctance to rely on that source even if I could find it again is understandable.

Minor glitch on that chart: CVL-23 Princeton was sunk 10/44, during the Leyte Gulf battles. IIRC, at the time Princeton's fighter squadron (sorry, don't recall the number, would need to recheck OP-31R for the time) also had a squadron-standard "cat's mouth" marking around the cowling. Pity...

Thanks--actually I'm running 9.4 IIRC. Could be hiccups in the WiFi, too--for some reason this so-called "broadband" connection seems to be only marginally better than dial-up. EDIT: Looks like a location-based IT Infrastructure problem was corrupting the downloads. On a different hotspot, and...

So far, every German and Japanese-subject file I try has failed. RAF Culmhead worked, as did AAF FM Defense of Airdromes and Airfield Warning Service. Easier to list the successes, it's shorter...

N/M, deleted.

Uh, guys? Am I the only one having trouble with downloading these files? I keep getting "PDF damaged and could not be repaired" errors. Funny thing: I actually registered here because of this thread--I've been looking for airfield site and structure plans for a while for both dioramas and...
