Looks like over 10 people downloaded it on here and didn't bother to say thanks.
I'll try a re-up.

Hello All,

I don't know if these drawings will help, but here goes. Pardon the quality. There is an unresolved issue with the scanner I am using.
The dimensions were very useful when I built my Wildcats for Combat Flight Simulator.

Have Fun!
- Ivan.

Thanks Merlin, great collection!

Ivan, outstanding stuff!

I am repairing an F4F Wildcat.

I need the roller chain that is used to raise and lower the landing gear. Production of this chain was discontinued some time after WW2.

The chain is designated as 148X1/4 or 51/4. I believe these are Diamond Chain Part Numbers.

I can use any amount.

Please advise if you have or know someone who may have some old inventory.

First, thanks to Ivan for the drawings.
Second: Leored, take a look to the job of Rojas Bazan, a man who makes all aluminium models for museums in EEUU.
I´m working in something alike, but just starting an approach, if I have something to share, wanna post here.

Good luck.

You're Welcome VALENGO,

Let me know if you are looking for detail photos of a particular section. I have a few books that might be useful, but there is way too much stuff to scan and post.

Post some photos of your work when you are ready!
- Ivan.
