Title: Brodak Speed Six lettering
Post by: Dwayne on December 09, 2018, 08:57:18 AM

Hi all, I bought a Brodak Speed Six to try some fun profile scale events, now correct me if I'm wrong but on scale plans should there not be an outline of the lettering? These plans do not, so does anyone know how to determine what size or know what size they are?
Thanks
Dwayne

This is the first I've ever heard of such an aircraft.  But a quick Dogpile search revealed that the ACTUAL PROTOTYPE of the Brodak kit is displayed at an air museum in Maidenhead, Birkshire. 

If I intended to compete with that model I would get some firsthand photos and take Theresa May to tea while I was I was in town.

Aircraft Documentation Services at

www.airdoc.biz

has good 3-views of the Miles Hawk Speed 6 racing aircraft.  He also has a color photo package, 8 photos, showing a dark blue and cream color scheme.   these will show the registration lettering - G-ADGP, and the racing number 8.   

If you are serious about making a decent scale model, these packages are a good investment.
