I'm a BAR with a serious obsession for my favorite rocket of all time, The Douglas "Honest John" missile. I'm slowly building a collection of these models in all variations that I can find, while scratch building a few of my own. Google searches and a trip through the NAR archives quickly delivered the Harry Stine Drawing, Peter Alway's two drawing set, and other gems.
But I'm hungry for more. The NAR Archives have a PDF copy of the Aug. 1987 issue of American Spacemodeling. On pages 8-9 of that issue, there is a scale drawing by John Pursley. Unfortunately, the pages appear to have been scanned individually at slightly different perspectives. Attempts to "stitch" the pages together in Photoshop have so far been unsuccessful. See my best attempt so far below.
I'd love to find a copy of the original magazine, or a better PDF scan of the complete centerfold drawing.
Another gem I'm looking for is a 2005 offering from Mike Dorffier called the "Scale Data CD Disk Catalog." There is an ad for the set here, but the e-mail isn't valid anymore. Anyone have a set for sale--or a suggestion for how to obtain a copy.

Hungry for any and all scale data on either variant of the Honest John. Happy to share whatever treasures I uncover. So far, my efforts have been limited to Sport Scale versions, but I plan to tackle a competition-level effort for this landmark weapon soon.
Thanks in advance for other HoJo fans!
