Pitts S2 fuselage structure


Recommended Posts

I started work on an LS/ARII 1/72 Pitts S2A a few days ago. To refine the cockpit, I made a representation of the fuselage truss structure, using Albion 0.5 mm tubing:

I followed the AP Lloyd drawing from a 1978 Scale Models, but it's not really clear on the fuselage truss. Plus it only shows the side, so I'm kind of stuck. Does anyone know of good photos of the S2 fuselage under construction?

I can find loads of photos of single-seat S1 fuselages, but photos of the two-seater S2 are quite rare it seems.

Thanks in advance!

Peter and Sean, thanks for your help!

 

In the mean time someone else suggested this, a 360 degree view of the cockpit of the prototype:

That answered most of my questions, and I was able to do some more work on the cockpit tonight, the picture is fresh from the camera:
