    Post Airplane card and manuever deck for Salmson 2A2

    I'm looking for the Airplane card for the Salmson 2A2, and what Maneuver deck would be correct for this Aircraft?
    I painted my Shapeways version in the American Expeditionary forces scheme. I scratch built twin Lewis guns on a bezel for the rear gunner. So I figure it will have a B/A for the guns. The rear arc would be a typical arc for the rear guns. From what I read about the performance characteristics it would use the "K" manuever deck? And have 15-16 damage points?

    If someone has already done the Airplane card could you post the link please?

    Thanks,

    I don't know on a card yet made, but looking at Guntruck albums might get you one:

    There are other card makers that might speak up, also.

    PS: I have a couple of cards made by Max Headroom (one of the original Aerodrome graphic artists) saved from the Great Hack Attack (2012); they might need to have their stats updated.

    I didn't find anything in Guntruck's links for the Salmson. The two links to the cards made by Max Headroom look fine as is. I'm not all that skilled at re-sizing etc. So what is the best way to do that so the cards are the same size as the standard ones?

    Random Acts of Carding usually happen because someone paints up a really nice plane, and posts all the relevant card information for the particular plane (with a really nice top-down image of the paint scheme, too).

    As it happens, the cards linked by Karl [Jager] above are pretty close (Damage is 16, on the latest stats chart). The cards are usable, depending on the fire power on the plane. Single gun on the front, and twins on the back.

    Using Open Office or Word, make a new text document. Then insert a picture from a file. Then set picture size to height 6.5cm retaining aspect ratio.

    I had a go at updating Max Headroom's cards with the most recent Unofficial Aircraft Stats listing

    They might be of use to you?
