This is my first post on this website so if anyone has any pointers as to where to go for what I'm looking for that would be much appreciated. 
So, I am a 3D artist working on a 3D model of the McDonnell Aircraft XP-67 and I need more reference material. I have been working with a partner on this since November of 2016. At the start of this summer I went out to the National Archives in Washington DC to collect blueprints of the aircraft. What I found there was really good for correcting the issues with many amateur drawings but it was not enough to finish all the components. Due to the lack of detail in the limited selection of photos I cannot continue and just wing it. My sights have been set on the Boeing archive for McDonnell Douglas where the history of the company is kept. The Archive is in St. Louis Missouri near Lambert Field (or whatever it is called today) in the Boeing complex but that is all I know/can guess. I have tried contacting Boeing's licensing people/team/specialists to see if it was possible to get ahold of the blueprints from them because they handle the exchange of intellectual property. They haven't gotten back to me yet. Potentially, they may know about where the archive is even if they can't give me the blueprints though.
So what am I looking for?
- cockpit schematics
- landing gear schematics
- blueprints with the gear wells detailed
- engine air duct schematics
- an entire building in St. Louis
- to be specific, the Boeing/McDonnell Douglas archive near Lambert Field
What do I have?
- original general arrangement drawings (rare and valuable but limited)
- the same 15 photos you can find on Google images (not all too special)
- 3 detailed photos of the cockpit (no measurements though so everything is h*cked in that regard
)
What would be helpful?
- photos of the landing gear close up
- photos of the gear wells
- photos of the cockpit facing aft
- schematics, drawings, and blueprints of the aforementioned items
- the building number of the archive (view the Boeing complex from Google maps)
If you would like to see the work we have done so far and read a bit more about the project click here and here (project and program respectively). My work can be viewed on the third page of the thread for the first link.
