     Dear Mr. Douglas Anderson, 
 Thank you very much for your kind help and advice! 

 You wrote: " I have taken the liberty of forwarding your mail to them too" - 
- yes, of course - many thanks! 
   
  Now, should we write to them, or (since you already forwarded our Email for them) we must wait  for some Emails from some members of their Group?   Or should we join this Group in order to be able to receive their Emails?... Please advice.

   Again, many thanks!   Kind regards - very sincerely, Eugene and Alex

      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:
   
http://www.littlewingautogyro.com/pca2.html    
 
   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
