Nightshade/PR Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Not the greatest, but an interesting start... https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP78T04759A002100010003-1.pdf https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP78T05929A000800020039-9.pdf Finding a blueprint will take a little more time, but info on the system with pictures are all over the map https://wiki2.org/en/P-14_radar https://www.cmano-db.com/pdf/facility/1890/ Edited March 19, 2020 by Nightshade/PR Additional data 1 1 Quote
KJakker Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Have you looked at the SAMSIM subforum at SimHQ? The SA-5 used it for target acquisition so there may be info buried in those threads. 1 Quote
+GKABS Posted March 19, 2020 Author Posted March 19, 2020 Okay, this is what I have completed in the last 12 HR. I had to draw the antenna from photos. Its a lot of work to make all of these pipes, but I hope I will get it as close as I can. 9 2 Quote
+GKABS Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 Thanks to piston79 from SimHQ he shared these photos. After looking at these photos I need to make some changes. 3 Quote
+Spillone104 Posted March 20, 2020 Posted March 20, 2020 By the pics, they are not of the same radar or simply not of the same version. Different main reflector design, auxiliary antennae (IFF?) and so on. Anyway they would be a nice addition. Quote
+GKABS Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 Yes you are correct there are more than one versions and there is an update that has been added to the later versions. So What I did I have tried to get them as close as I can sens there is no good blueprint out there. 1 Quote
