Hello, Bob: Always a fan of your projects, I am surprised you had such trouble finding more information on this unique bird.
I did a quick search on the internet and came up with a few links that you might find useful. No clear, hi-res three view drawings, unfortunately, but you might find these of some use anyway. http://www.airliners.net/aircraft-data/stats.main?id=19 http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/europe/a300-600st-schem.htm http://www.diecastairplane.com/store/picturepopup.aspx?id=170103 http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Airbus_A300-600ST_Beluga http://www.schule.de/bics/son/verkehr/flugzeug/beluga/index.htm Cheers!

Sent: Tuesday, December 22, 2009 10:15 AM To: Papermodels II Subject: [Papermodels II 41169] Airbus A300-600ST, "Beluga" Hello everyone, After months of inactivity, I am designing a 'Beluga' 1:200 (it's a huge plane) paper model, after a fascinating visit to the Airbus facility at Toulouse. Although the A380 was magnificent, it was the 'ugly duckling' Beluga which gave me the drive to design a model, which is otherwise nowhere to be seen in modeller circles. Problem: the internet only gave me a couple of photos, and from the Airbus web site, I managed to procure a tiny 3-view of the aircraft. Airbus themselves were of no help whatsoever, and I wondered if the organisation knows what public relations is all about! 1 single terse reply to 3 emails of mine, to look at the tiny 3-view they offered on their site! You would think it was on the highest secrecy list. I could never get past the site's webmaster, as they publish no email adresses, only telephone numbers. I did what I could, and the main design is nearly finished, but I would like to know whether ANYONE can help me with decent 3-side views of the beast. If not, my not over-authentic model plans will be FREELY available within a week or 2 on my web site www.bobscardmodels.com . So go ahead and give me some advice. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
