Hi Craig,

Looks like an interesting project. According to Wikipedia, two of these aircraft are housed in museums, one in Charlotte. NC and the other in Pensacola, FL. Maybe they can help you with that need? We were fortunate to find pictures thanks to a museum volunteer who searched archives for us on the Beech 28 Grizzly. But maybe someone can actually snap a few reference pics for you.

Good luck.

Thanks Milton ! I hadn't thought of that, its amazing what you can find when you really start digging though......

Hello Full,

I'm a huge fan of all things NACA, KEDW, etc. I'm working on an updated (retrograded?) KEDW for 1950 - but I'm SO stoked you're doing the the D-558-1. That is honestly, a dream come true.

I'd love to help - I don't have any modelling skills, but if you need some technical data, I can offer you the loan of this book:

http://www.amazon.ca/Skystreak-Skyrocket-Stiletto-High-Speed-X-Planes/dp/1580070841

You may have it, but if you don't, I think it's the authoritative source for the type. Anything else I can do, please let me know - I'll try and help in any way I can.

Regards,
