If you need F8F photos to go along with your plans, here are some I took a few years back at an Air Show.

Still looking for Nye's drawings just in case

 

[Halcyon66]

These are similar to what you have but higher resolution.

Pretty sure they were offered on eBay US.

I have enough IQ to use Google search, thank you ( I even can search eBay lots). I can't buy stuff from eBay at the moment on certain reasons.

 

[Halcyon66]

Actually, I downloaded those images years ago.

As said it think they were from eBay.

Full Nye drawings stack, but unfortunately low-res

 

[Halcyon66]

If you really want original factory blueprints, then join Aircorps Library.

https://app.aircorpslibrary.com/aircraft/f8f-grumman-bearcat

It is 9$ a month and you can turn your membership on and off when you not looking for anything.

They have a going list of aircraft.

Only issue is it takes a long time figuring out the numbering system to find specific parts/assemblies.

Once more, I do appreciate your efforts to help, but what I do really want are Nye's drawings as was clearly said in the first post. I do know of Aircorps library from the beginning.

October 1960 Model Airplane News Magazine

USD 7.99

Maybe you should brush up on your google search......................

Don't worry I don't want them.

I perfectly know where drawings go from, it's written on bottom of every page. You are not reading what I write

 

[Halcyon66]

OMG they are a blown-up version of the Model Airplane Magazine ones done on different paper to look more like blueprints in the 1980's.

My mate has a set and is going to get a copy over to me.

Anyway, good luck in your quest.
