      Dear Colleagues,

  Sorry for this "off-topic" post!   
 I have a friend here, Alex Mandel (also a modeler) who is interested in scratchbuilding the Amelia Earhart's PCA-2 autogyro from 1931... and i am helping him with this project. 
We are having enough many photos already - including the ones of the real AE's bird, and some "sisterships"; particularly the famous "Miss Champion" aircraft that flies today:

   What we still need, however, are 
  1)  good drawings, and
  2)  good photos of the details - "closeups" - of such things like engine, cockpit, landing gear, etc...  

   So, please a question:  can somebody from the Colleagues (particularly maybe those who lives and/or works not so far from Detroit - as there is also the PCA-2 aircraft - painted red - on display in the Museum there) help us with any such material?...

    Please provide some help if possible... very important for us!  

      Kind regards! - very sincerely, Eugene and Alex

P.S. Attached are a few photos of some models already built by Alex and "related" to amelia Earhart: her Vega and Electra airplanes - in 1/72 (Electra is a full scratchbuilt), and the World War II Luberty ship that was named after her  :)   (also the scratchbuilt - in 1:700)

P.P.S.  In order to avoid the further off-top, please write to us "off-forum" - both to Alex and me... Alex' s Email is: mandel97ua at yahoo.com
