I took the two pages of drawings to a "Kinko's" store and used their incredible Xerox machine to enlarge them to 28-15/16" wingspan to get full size (1/16 scale) paper templates. It is amazing how well the prints came out at 300% enlargement. I also borrowed and scanned several 8 X 10 glossy photos from Wings Over the Rockies, but it seemed as if nobody else had even heard of a Salmson. So I assumed that no interior information existed, and was only going to build a model of the exterior. Since then I have collected many other photos and drawings -- thanks in large part to the members of this web site mailing list. I eventually found a lot of info for the interior of the cockpits, and ended up detailing the cockpits extensively and even made the control surfaces operable from the pilot's cockpit.
