Hello:

I'm starting a 1/5 scale Jayhawk (AQM 37-A model 1019) build, and would like to make it as accurate as possible for a scale model competition. Does anyone know of available scale information, other than the basic measurements?

I've seen the webpages at:
http://www.nambarberspoint.org/
http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/aqm37.htm

And of course the very good page at:
http://www.rocketryonline.com/jimba...m-37/aqm-37.htm

I'm particularly looking for more detailed measurements, and detailed (close-up) pictures of the pitot tube, antennae, etc.

I know that there are display models in Hawaii and in Chino, California... Anyone nearby want to take some pictures for me?

Thanks in advance,
Hutch

These were sent to me when I asked for help. Hope they are useful.

NARTS has a set of scale data on that model. It's pretty good; I think Chris Timm put it together (I may have contributed a picture or two--it's been ten years, so I apologize if I misrepresented that). I've found some pictures of it in non-US markings, if you want to finish it that way.

I think Chris or somebody also took some pictures of one in the NASM annex. I have posted what I have on my computer here.

ETA: The pitot horn is the main thing missing from the Estes kit; it can be seen on a couple of the pics I posted. Also the drop fixtures. The orange and white one is pretty, but it's an AQM-37C.

Thanks Ted:

Don't know why I did not think of NARTS.... anyway, have ordered the plans from their site.

Thanks for the pictures!

No problem. I had fun with that model (see avatar, and below).

I've also attached some R&D I found (I think I wrote much of it, but I could be wrong) from 1997. I have black and white pics of a French one, somewhere around.

Take your time on the paint--lots and lots of light coats of fluorescent, wet sanding in between, with future wax on top.
