Hi, I'm looking for photos/drawings of the I-7/Heinkel HD-37, hopefully in operational markings. Realize there may not be much out there, and have vacuumed up what I could from Google images. Any leads appreciated!
Cheers, Herb

Thanks John! There were a couple new ones in there, I appreciate it! I just don't think I'm ever going to find much, this subject is the definition of obscurity...
Cheers, Herb

I have to admit that's one I hadn't seen before. Still, it does just scream "Heinkel", doesn't it? Herb, is there a model for this (I love obscure subjects also, especially Soviet ones)?
Regards,
Jason

Well. you're in luck (although, as they say, "There are two kinds of luck") - there was a Prop&Jet vacuform, a few years ago; some hard searching might turn one up somewhere depending on how badly you want it: http://www.rumodelism.com/wiki/doku.php/review/obz034John

I'll have to put that one my "maybe one day" list; quite a very long list. Maybe Musa has one rattling around somewhere, although to be honest I'd rather get his I-14 (maybe if I get a little money for Christmas!). Regards, Jason

Nice reference material, Konstantin - thank you! It does look a bit like an Arado 65, but I suppose it's the BMW engine (it looks like a BMW).
Regards,
Jason

1929 Heinkel HD-43. It was a design similar to HD-37, but incorporated modifications requested by the Soviets. Eventually it was rejected. Some of the modifications (like headrest) were included in I-7. 131 I-7s produced are not a small number for early 1930es. For comparison, only 151 P-26s were made. For Soviet aviation industry I-7 was an important step forward: already in 1928 Polikarpov used Heinkel's calculation methods in U-2 (later Po-2) wing design. Some may also recognize Heinkel's influence on later I-5... I-7 was the first Soviet plane with welded steel frame fuselage - similar design will be used in later Yakovlev designs... Cheers, KL

Well, glad the topic generated some interest! I do have the Prop & Jet vacform, and it is very nice. Some of the most delicate surface detail I've come across, especially for a vac. Thanks to everyone for providing all the images!
Cheers, Herb
