Hello Scale Guys!
Would anyone be able to help a stunt guy out? I'm looking for three views and photos of the Air Truck AT-301 that is painted up like Dusty from the Disney movie "Planes." The owner of the plane is Rusty's Flying Service in Texas and I have tried contacting them by email but have not gotten a response yet. They have some photos on their web site that help, but don't show a decent shot of a "plan view" of the airplane. They rebuilt the airplane from an AT-301 (I think) reciprocating version into the current turbo prop configuration. Since they did the rebuild, I would thing a three view of the airplane might have been created.
I have contacted the Air Tractor factory, and they don't have a three view of the airplane as it exists now, nor photos. I have some photos that I took and a friend took at Oshkosh in 2013, but they don't show some of the details and out lines that I'm looking for. If I can't find anything better, they may have to do for now.
I have emailed with Dave at Bob's Aircraft Documentation, (Bob Banka's old company) and struck out there also. Models resembling Dusty have been built for R/C already that I have seen on line, but no way of contacting the owners. They for the most part have replicated the cartoon character, not the full scale representation.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
