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 Strato-Streak 68 that I electronically scanned from page 23 of my purchased copy of the December 1968 American Aircraft Modeler magazine. You might be able to scale up the image below if you cannot find a source for ordering plans. Plans for this fine model were drawn by Mr. Earl A. Thompson. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.
The 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.
