Looking for Delta II =scale= drawings

[Chris TNR]

For about a month now, I have been searching for scale drawings of the Delta II (in any scale). I realize there are several versions of the Delta II, however in all the sites I have been to showing the many types of this rocket, none contained any detailed drawings that I could scale to. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.......

Thanks

Which version/mission are you thinking about modeling?

There are various combinations of GEM's (Graphite Epoxy Motors) and payload shrouds. There are two different size GEM's, in configurations of 3, 4, or 9 strap-ons. There are 2 different payload shrouds.

There is a Payload Planner's Guide here:
https://www.boeing.com/defense-space/space/delta/guides.htm

Also, "Rockets Of The World" has a measured drawing with the most commonly used payload fairing.

Fortunately, the version I decided on is one of the most common Delta II's, of that being the GPS IIR-11 w/9 strap-ons (smaller GEM'S). I was able to get to the Delta II photo gallery via the link you provided, way cool...thank you. I printed up a few copies of the GPS IIR-11 (daytime launches, great detail) and then I'll just do a visual build from them, seeing how obtaining actual scale drawing of this particular rocket will be next to impossible. Unless of course Boeing wants to give em' up!......NOT!

Since I've started dumping my life savings into this L3 production, capitol is on the low side, and Christmas is going to take the rest So I guess the acclaimed "Rockets of the World" will have to get put on hold. At $150 bucks a crack, I'm hoping Santa Claus puts one under the tree

Chris there was an article in Sport Rocketry with a drawing...the Sept/Oct 1998 issue, I believe... (ROW lists it as 1996 BTW)

It's in "Rockets of the World" (OK, It's out of stock for some time, but somebody must have a copy you can borrow) as well as in an old "Sport Rocketry" from not long after the Mars Pathfinder launch.

This has some scale type data in it-

Thank you Peter. I have a few guys in mind that either might have ROTW or know someone who does.
I'm also currently doing the downscale conversion drawing to 5" diameters for both the Falcon AIM-4E, and Tartar. Had been searching for quite a while on exactly which scale bird I was going to build, and both of these rockets were just what I was looking for.
Unfotunately, I'm presently right smack dab in the middle of glassing the BT's for my L3 rocket, and then I start the build, so things are gonna get nerve-racking for a while. I'm shootin' for spring on the scale builds.
Thanks again.........
