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 De Havilland DH60G Gipsy Moth that I electronically scanned from my purchased copy of the May 1969 American Aircraft Modeler magazine. Because they span two or more pages, I had to adjust the size and alignment a bit to get halves to line up properly. You might be able to scale up the image below. Plans for this fine model were drawn by
Mr. Björn Karlström. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.
"The de Havilland DH 60 Moth was a 1920s British two-seat touring and training aircraft that was developed into a series of aircraft by the de Havilland Aircraft Company."
- 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.
