Landships II

 

The drawing states it is 0.75 in to a foot - implying a 1:16 scale

So the drawing would have been 503mm long for an 8.05m long tank.

To fit that on a single sheet would need an A2 sized paper (420 x 594).

I've never seen the plan packs from Bovington but weren't they pretty large scale?

I have the Mk IV plan pack from Bovington, the drawings are very large

It is not a complete set of drawings, but they do cover most of the important parts. I wish I could find drawings of the engine, gearbox and guns (from the male).
I purchased them five or six years ago, I contacted their archive person through email and they arranged to send me a PayPal bill, then sent me the drawings on a cd.

That is really helpful, thank you.

 yeah, that engine is a bit of a mystery.

I have been looking into other contemporary Daimler engines, as the cylinders seem to be paired in three blocks.

The pic in my post at least shows the outline of the blocks, and half that would bring your near the width.
