P-51D Mustang Plans
June 1969 American Aircraft Modeler

June 1969 American Aircraft Modeler

Airplanes and Rockets - June 1969 American Aircraft Modeler magazine cover     [Table of Contents]
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. Still, many things never change, so much of the old content is relevant to today's modeler.

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 Mustang that I electronically scanned from my purchased copy of the June 1969 American Aircraft Modeler magazine. You might be able to scale up the image below if you cannot locate suitable plans for sale. Plans for this fine model were drawn by Mr. C. Jackson. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.

Because they span two or more pages, I had to adjust the size and alignment a bit to get halves to line up properly.

"The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang was a long-range single-seat World War II fighter aircraft. Designed and built in just 117 days, the Mustang first flew in Royal Air Force (RAF) service as a fighter-bomber and reconnaissance aircraft before conversion to a bomber escort, employed in raids over Germany, helping ensure Allied air superiority from early 1944." - Wikipedia






Airplanes and Rockets - Mustang Plans from June 1969 American Aircraft Modeler


Notice:
The AMA Plans Service offers a full-size version of many of the plans show here at a very reasonable cost. They will scale the plans any size for you. It is always best to buy printed plans because my scanner versions often have distortions that can cause parts to fit poorly. Purchasing plans also help to support the operation of the Academy of Model Aeronautics - the #1 advocate for model aviation throughout the world.
