The only original documents I've seen for the 24ft Nissen are general arrangement drawings. Does anyone know if any dimensional drawings survive please?
The sentence in Wiki reveals a lot: However, there is no standard model of Nissen huts, as the design was never static but changed according to demand.
I suspect a 'Nissen Hut' amounts to simply a pile of curved steel sheets and wooden purlins and you do with them whatever you wish. Ends, doors, windows, chimneys, ventilators, lining etc are added as required.
Thanks for trying to help guys. I'm looking specifically for the kind of key dimensions that are found on the plans for the 16ft Nissen (attached).
For example, radius of the curved roof and radius origin, dimensions and position of purlins and bearers. Dormer window structure and dimensions etc.
The kind of details you need to create an accurate CAD model.
I know certain ARG folk have modeled this type of structure before but I'm not sure if they were accurate models or approximations.
Cheers

You need the dimensioned MOD CAD drawing for "Nissen Hut Hangars".
They're on the net, all dimensioned in milimetres. (Not really useful when working with C-Type hangars for instance...)
