Quest for detailed linedrawings (B-10 & Lodestar)

[Ruy Horta]

Time for my semi-anual quest for detailed (and if possible free or at least low cost) line drawings for the Martin B-10 / Model 139 bomber.

I'm also looking for similar drawings for the Lockheed Lodestar (Model 18-40) transport and Douglas 8A-3N, light bomber.

The Lodestar and Martin bomber are of prime interest, the Douglas secondary.

Thanks!

Probably not detailed enough

Too large to post the image.

Thanks Kutcha for the thought.

Indeed, up to this level (even a little better) I am covered.

I've just bought a copy of Warpaint No.59 Lockheed Hudson, but it doesn't cover the Loadstar. I know the Ventura is closer to the Loadstar, so if anyone can confirm a Ventura book source which covers the Loadstar, I am game.

I have made it based on the archive data. It is in Illustrator file. But don't beleive that you are interest in my work. Why you excatly need it... if it is not classified?

Nothing secret.

Eventually I want to make either simple (scheme) or more elaborate profiles from them.

In this way here you are the best solution for you- archive material from NASM...

USAF188-89 is the 15 rolls of engineering drawings on microfilm and include models XB-10, YB-10, B-10A, YB-12A, B-12, B-12A, XB-14 and XB907. Cost is 300 USD.
01-35A-2 to 50 is the manual for B-10, B-10A, B-12 and B-12A. Have 82 pages and cost 20,5 USD
01-35B-2 basic manual for B-10B, 235 pages and cost 58,75 USD
01-35B-2 to19 is change orders, 29 pages and cost 7,25 USD
01-35B-4 is the parts catalog, 186 pages and cost 46,50 USD

Hope this will help :)

Thanks, but the subject is not one that I would order archival material on, as too much investment for the return. I'll continue my wait for a workable set from a future (if any) publication (a la AJ-Press).

Please, remember the introduction of free or low cost solution.
