Get Them While They're Blue (November 16, 2005)

[ChrisReid]

A lot of people ask where they can find digital copies of the famous Wing Commander 1 fighter blueprints. They've been scanned a number of times by different people with varying results, but nobody can ever find a decent version when they need one. Fatcat decided to finally fix this problem and perform a definitive scan. We've polished them up and now have them readily available for everyone to use. The links below point to 1600x1100 prints in sharp detail. Each one comes in around 800 kilobytes. We also have an ultra high resolution blueprint pack that comes in at a whopping 42 megs. Each schematic in the pack is in full 5000x3300 resolution suitable for printing or intense scrutiny. You can find more Wing Commander documentation in our Manuals section.

Hehe, good to see WC get some more exposure. My brother just found my blueprints, which he had misplaced years ago. They really are cool.

Actually, I only got my blueprints a few years ago when I bought a second-hand copy of Wing Commander at a local traded goods store. Only $6 - I sure lucked out with that!
