Red Baron Plans

Modeling Subjects Aircraft
1

I’m a set carpenter, and have been assigned the task of building a large scale representation of the Red Baron’s plane, specifically the Fokker Dr.I Dreidecker. It would be a great help to be able to work from a scaled drawing of the plane: image, http://www.briggsenterprises.com/bluemax/dr1b.jpg

It would also be helpful to have Sopwith Camel plans.

Does anyone know where I might find such drawings? The work is for the Sonoma County Fair, Santa Rosa, CA, once home of Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, thus the Red Baron.

Here’s a sample of previous work without benefit of plans: http://www.sonic.net/stuart/ship/shipjava2.htm

Thanks, and all best wishes,

Stuart

Thanks for the lead. It didn’t pay off, but a search came up with both the Fokker and the Sopwith Camel…at Arizona Model Aircrafters.
