Has anyone ever used the NASM to get plans for aircraft?

Thought about it, I'm in need of some good drawings of the SHort Sunderland flying boat. Did you see the small illustration on their order form though? I hope it is not indicative of the drawings buyers were likely to recieve.

Me either, those are pretty weak. I get better stuff from http://www.airwar.ru


Click the British flag and look around. You can find line drawings of almost any major plane, especially Russian, and they're really nice. Most of the time, HUGE. I downloaded a MiG-29 drawing that was 51 PHYSICAL inches long... HUGE. Cutaways if you're lucky.
