Hi all,
I've taken a big shine to 1:100 scale modeling and wanted to ask for some help with scale plans. I've got a bunch of armor that I want to scratch build added ERA and applique armor to. Things like the M-60 Blazer and Marine ERA, M-2 Bradley, AAV-7a1, Challenger II and the like. Can anyone help with sources for 1:35th scale plans of such items as well as T-72,80, and 90 variant ERA tanks. Websites, Books, magazines, downloads all suggestions will be taken. Also if anyone is willing to scan Tamiya's 1/35th M-2 Bradley, M-60A1 ERA, LVTP-7 and ACADEMY'S M-60 Blazer instructions sheets that would be of GREAT use as well.
Thanks for any help any of you can provide!

There really isn't a single source of 1/35 drawings. I would stay away from George Bradford's drawings as they frequently aren't terribly accurate. There are several people in Europe producing 1/72 & 1/76 drawings but, if I may say so, the best source for 1/35 drawings is a deep library containing many old issues of Mil Mod, Tankette, Airfix magazine, Tank Magazine, AFV-G2 and the like. Then you need an index to know where to go to get your drawings. That's why some of us old farts grab the old issues of specific mags at shows. Reference material is the key.
