Need RE8 plans

I'm going to start building a rc RE8 soon. Now all I need to get the ball rolling are some plans. Can anyone help me with this? They can be of any size as I can always scale them up or down. Three views would be a great help as well.

RE8 plans

I'm sure several others will chip in with their own views, but your best bet might be to find the Windsock Datafile on the RE8, and scale-up their 1/48th scale plans to whatever size you want. And, of course, it also has interior ahots as well.

RE8 plans

You might try Bob Holman plans in San Bernadino, Ca. I believe there are a set done. His catalog was extensive 30 years ago! I can only imagine how many he has now.

I bought a plan pack for Dennis Bryant's 1/8 scale FW-190 A-4 in the late seventies and recall there were many WWI subjects in his catalog.

Bought some 1/4 scale Fi-156 Storch plans about 6 years ago and see him advertise as recently as a month ago.

There was a large (7ft.?) one published in a British mag years ago. It may have been Martin Fardell's, and it may have been in RCM&E or Radio Modeller.

Not a lot, but it may give you a start.
