Aircraft modeling has undergone significant changes over the decades - both in technology and preferences.
Magazines like American Aircraft Modeler, and American Modeler before that,
were the best venues for capturing snapshots of the status quo of the day.
I have been
scanning and posting excerpts
from my collection of AAM and AM, concentrating on model
building articles and old advertisements. Whether
you are here to wax nostalgic, or are just interested in learning history, hopefully
you will find what you are seeking. As time permits, I will be glad to scan articles for you. All
copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.
Here are plans for the Curtiss A-3B Falcon that I electronically scanned from my purchased copy of the March 1968 American Aircraft Modeler magazine. You might be able to scale up the images below if suitable plans cannot be located. Plans for this fine model were drawn by Mr. Paul R. Matt. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.
"The Curtiss Falcon is a family of military biplane aircraft built by the United States aircraft manufacturer Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company during the 1920s. Most saw service as part of the United States Army Air Corps as observation aircraft with the designations O-1 and O-11, or as the attack aircraft designated the A-3 Falcon."
- WikipediaThe AMA Plans Service offers a full-size version of plans at a very reasonable cost. They will scale the plans any size for you. Try out my
Scale Calculator for Model Airplane Plans.
