Hi everyone, I've been looking for illustrated parts breakdowns of the B-36 and B-52 bombers for model construction reference, but I haven't found any on eBay or aircraft-reports. I only found auction records on worthpoint.com. I think perhaps someone here has seen them; thank you in advance!

大家好，我一直在尋找B-36和B-52轟炸機的零件分解圖，用於模型製作參考，但我在eBay和aircraft-reports上都沒找到。我只在worthpoint.com上找到了一些拍賣記錄。我想也許這裡有人看過，先謝謝大家了！

Looks like it's not digitised; site says contact staff for access (in-person visit most likely)

Does anyone know if they can borrow this to scan, or can I scan it myself?

I think you can photograph the pages but paying them to digitize it for you would get a far better result at lower cost.

As said above - contact them

Just to be difficult I am searching for any RAF (or Commonwealth) publications on the Doping (meaning painting of fabric) on aircraft.

I have AP 3042A Standard Technical Training Notes dated 1941 but it only has a few pages on the topic. I also have the RAAF Fitters IIA Course Notes dated 1941 which are equally brief.

Ideally I am chasing AD (Air Diagram) 2390 Aircraft Dopes and Finishes and any other RAF (or RAAF/RCAF/RNZAF/SAAF/etc) publication on the subject.

Alternatively I would accept a copy of USAAF/USN Tech Order 01-1A-11 Fabric repair and doping dated EARLIER than my copy which is dated 1946-01-04 and revised 1951-04-16. A copy of the 1946 edition minus the 1951 revisions would even help.

Thanks in advance

Mi

Hey MiTasol,

I think you have to look for different designations for earlier US manuals on fabric and doping subjects.

"TM 1-417 Aircraft Fabric Work and Application of Finishes" is a pre-WWII and war-time manual on the subject, revised several times, published by the US War Department. I thnk the last revision was in late-1944, but am not sure.

Unfortunately, I do not know where you can find a digital or hard copy.

Thanks for that tip. According to a web search aircorpslibrary.com have a copy. I will check it out in the morning. Us oldies need our ugly sleep.

I needed to know what the Mk.V firewall looked like so I could replicate the shape for the replacement of a firewall for the 109G Daimler Benz engine and motor mounts. But now I know how it looks at the front of the wing spar mounting section. So now I know I have to replicate the wing spar center section at the bottom of the firewall. Cool.

Hi!
Sorry to come so late to this. I have a feeling that the Germans used a late Bf 110 type engine installation for their re-engined Spitfire? Certainly, I think that the cowling without oil cooler was more like the 110 parts.

Cheers
