Scratch Built Solid Models by Creosotewind. Viewed 965 times. Build Thread Next Prev Click image to return. Image Comments Creosotewind 05-Mar-09 19:22 More solids from frwyflyer. Ted's comments: I D model plans. There are basically 2 sheets. A cover sheet that shows construction and small detail patterns and the 1/72 patterns for the pieces. Bigger models of course have more pattern sheets. I'm not sure how much you know about this program. The plans were intended for wood shop students in high and junior high school. They had access to many power tools (saws and lathes) to make identification models for the armed services. There was a very serious judging and acceptance inspection prior to being accepted by the military. Some where deep down in the basement I have much of that information. I didn't participate by making models as I was way too young. My father got some of these plans and we would carve airplanes from orange crates. They were made from white pine or sugar pine, which was easy to cut and carve. I started on a P-47 and when I was finished it could have been any monoplane. My Dads P-47 of course really looked like a P-47 and got me "hooked" on making my own airplanes from crate wood as opposed to kits. Later I started the kit building.
