(Admin if this is to big just trash it, If I resized it any more I was just going to loose the detail)

Old pic of my PAN-AM repaint (still not finished) of the Boeing 2707-200 on Final.

Unfortunatly the model has some surface errors in the flaps and rudder but its a fun aircraft all the same.

I'm hoping to build a my own model in the near future but the current reference material is pretty crap, also building the L-2000

Don't think we'd be able to park that at nzch , watchin Concorde come and go many times - the takeoff easlier audible from 5/8 km in a brisk NE upwind . I do have maybe dozen so plus pages on US-SST's , drawings , mockups modle changes and other , require time go thru my librairy , think even have a magazines off period during the concept planning and details , and competeing Locheed designs for when u start lookin at making your new version.

I had never heard of the "Boeing 2707" before today, but found it interesting to learn about it here: http://www.unrealaircraft.com/classics/sst.php

Thanks for opening my eyes P.V.

a sad end but thats progress for you.

Ian anything your've got would be helpful , I've got most of what is displayed on the net but sadly it mostly low quality and not clear.

The main area of concern is the external cockpit area and the the general body cross sections, what I'm hoping for is a detailed 3 way drawing, mostly they are just basic line drawings

I'm only interested in the 2707-200, As this aircraft never flew I can ignore the fact that Boeing never got it working and trashed the swing wing for the double delta which is less exciting

I'll have a look tomorrow , so many to go thru , think the 2707-200 was again not the final layout , bit or simular to what hapened in the early 787 project under the 7E label , lot off info was used from the North American XB70 program and NASA use with General Electic with engine specs and with having the largest moving control surfaces .
