Looking for Gunbus drawings

Hi, longtime reader, first time poster...

Anyone know of an on-line source for a 3 view drawing of the Vickers FB.5?

I've searched but can only find a side view. I'm attempting a 1/72 scratchbuild. My wife's family name is Vickers, so I thought she'd get a kick out of it. Plus, I'd like to try out some new techniques I've learned.

Oh yeah, I can't spend any money on it, so any books are out of the question for me right now.

Thanks!

(love the site, BTW)

I can supply 3 view rigging diagrams, please PM me with your email address if you would like me to send full size files (3 views + nacelle details)

Front view for reference.

Nacelle sample for completeness. Not exactly what you are looking for, but hopefully some use?

That's EXACTLY what I need!

I just need the basic outline so I can start the frame, and this will work nicely.

If you could, send them to tn_prvteye <at> yahoo.com.

Thank you very much...this should keep me busy for awhile.
