Hi Ian,

I just bought a Modeler's Tyrrell 019 yesterday.
019-plan.gif
This is a scan of the drawing. I scale it to 1/20. Set margin to 0.5 in on all sides when printing on 8.5"x11" paper. The print out will be at 1/20.

Send me a PM if you want a bigger drawing. Somehow, the drawing is shrunk in the post.

Hope this can help.

Hi CK,

Thank you very much for your kind offer, However I have already done this but in a different way. I printed some pictures, then scaled on the photo copier and carefully looked at photos.
I have the model with a tiny bit more filling to do before primer. I will try to upload some pictures of my progress this evening.

Another update. I have modified the rear wing end plates to make square in profile.
I sprayed some Zero paints grey filler primer. Now with a uniform colour I can see areas that need more filling and sanding, THis process will repeat a few times..
