    One of the P40,s here in Auss has had 3D scanning used to complete the cowl shape.It is good but needs a lot of cleaning up to get a good set of drawings off it.The best thing it is used for is for making moulds,wooden bucks or complex shapes so the sheeties can bash their tin over them.Will have to try find the Pdf file that I had..Anyone got a link?

    I think they are just standard types of caravans used throughout the 30,s and 40,s.Look for gypsy types as they were probably the most prelevant.

    Cheers Mark..

    Yes it is the same with us.Many of the parts have been through the smelter and the area is littered with such holes but tracking them all down is the trick today.A lot of area to go over.Most of the stuff found is Spit wing components,various Kittyhawk parts,mainly a few leg beam section,a few retract links,Allison valves,a few ammo feed trays,Boomerang tidbits and a few Mustang bits.Most of the stuff is well “stuffed” but about 20% of the stuff we have found could be reused as patterns or for static applications.

    The Archerfield hole is a good one and with our drought it caused the water to drop to show bits and pieces sticking out last year.But as always the elements will always beat you.

    Wouldn,t be so sure of a hoax.

    I think these guys might be on to something but it is like a fishing tale where the fish is “this big”…There are many bunker sites around Australia as I have seen the remains of the one out at Oakey and dug up aircraft parts there.One of the other Aussies has been up to a dump up at Townsville and recovered a good haul of bits as well.One mans rubbish is anothers treasure.To see more of this sort of stuff check out these guys…

    I can only dream

    Being on the other side of the globe all I can do is drool over the pics and wait for a few video links to go up.Did you ever think of doing a video or picture diary of the rebuild Tom??

    Look small

    Have you tried the various modelling sites for info?They are usually pretty demanding for realism and accuracy in their hobby.
