Older plans availability.

http://www.xlistplans.demon.co.uk/

We have received a lot of enquiries for older plans designs mentioned here at scale-models,the most recent was someone from New Zealand looking for the old Handley Page Halifax rubber driven model done by W.R.Jones,well what is probably not generally realised is that most of the older drawings done for Aeromodeller,Model Aircraft etc are still available albeit from an independant supplier,thankfully the value of these old drawings was realised and whilst they were probably a bit of a nuisance to the magazines who first put them out all of those years ago they are still invaluable to modellers of vintage types.
Equally the excellent scale drawings that first appeared in the pulp magazines circa 1930's such as 'Flying Aces' have been saved by several modellers,these represent the cream of the modelling draughtsmen who helped pave the way for the standards we expect today,long may they survive !
