All Is anyone aware of drawings or detailed photos available for the above aircraft? Possible replica to be built for a TV program focusing on the Arctic rescue of the Chelyuskin crew in 1934. cheers Dave |

Dave: You could probably use Lockheed Vega drawings and a little Hollywood prop magic and build a nice replica. Would really depend on timeframe and how accurate one wants to be, as well as budget. If they get serious, I can get you in touch with someone that is well versed in the Vega. |

This might be ancient history (but then again, perhaps I stumbled across paydirt...). DEKNO models created a 1/72 resin kit of the Model 17. In a blog, the model's creator stated: ...thanks to the drawings of Capt. Douglas E. Anderson and published in the magazine Skyways #20 & #22 "The Consolidated Fleetster" I could knows the interior configuration and translate to 3D in good security... Personally, I don't peruse Skyways, but it seems like a decent lead if a kit designer used it. It appears one can download a pdf (for a price!) of issues No. 20 and 22 of Skyways at the following link(s). http://ww1aeroinc.org/blog1/store-skyways-page-1/ http://ww1aeroinc.org/blog1/store-skyways-page-2/ Happy hunting! |

One thing I've found useful is to use Google Books to search for stuff. https://www.google.com/books/edition/In ... frontcover https://www.google.com/books/edition/Co ... frontcover https://www.google.com/books/edition/Re ... frontcover https://www.google.com/books/edition/Ai ... frontcover https://www.google.com/books/edition/US ... frontcover https://www.google.com/books/edition/Th ... frontcover https://www.google.com/books/edition/Th ... frontcover Some of these you can only see a snippet, but it hints that there might be a picture in the actual publication, such as this link below: https://www.google.com/books/edition/St ... frontcover |

Nice work, Ryan! I was actually pleasantly surprised by the detailed pic of the subject aircraft at the wiki for "SS Chelyuskin": https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... %D0%B5.jpg |
