Found OA-1 3views

I found this thread because I was after a 3view of the OA-1 which I came across many years ago in an article in Aeromodeller magazine. I’ve since lost the magazine.
I’ve not done too bad using the 3views from this thread but fine detail is difficult. I emailed the Smithsonian and amazingly they replied. Not only a very nice letter giving further references but a beautiful 1:72 3view and a copy of the original Aeromodeller article which also has a 1:144 3view. 🙂

So thank you for this thread and thank you Smithsonian. I’ve got some building to do!!!

Joglo,
Now that’s more like it. I agree the “auto” translate does add to the fun. The scheme I fancy is the Free French version. The 3view is enough is build a small model for test purposes. I’ll keep looking, but thanks for your help.

OA-1 3view

Thanks Joglo. I had found that one before, but a CBY-3 is not the one I’m after.

Brian, just let us all know when you get it published. Thanks.

I’m still trying to track down the 3view from Aeromodeller. It was that that started me off! It is a fascinating history and not one that I have seen modeled [flying that is] yet .

OA-1 plans

I found this thread whilst searching for info on the OA-1. The thread has made me even more interested in the machine and its history. I wish to make a flying model around 1/12 scale so I’m after some decent 3views. I’m sure Aeromodeller July 1965 has a 3view, but I’ve now lost my copy and so far I’ve been unable to find another copy.

Brian, I noticed you are doing a scale drawing. Will the drawing be for sale? Please let me know.

I’m after a winter project and I’m ready to do a scratch build. Multi-engined models are my passion. My last two projects [from plans] were a Bf-110C and the Blackburn Beverley both 72″ span.

Having found this site I must admit to being a bit of fan now. Thanks. 🙂

I read to same book – excellent read – and what struck me was why nobody told him how to do a night landing. He near killed himself working out how to do it. What are instructors for?
