    ScaleType: This (oz11754) is a scale plan. Where possible we link scale plans to Wikipedia, using a text string called ScaleType.

    If we got this right, you now have a couple of direct links (above) to 1. see the Wikipedia page, and 2. search Oz for more plans of this type. If we didn't, then see below.

    Notes:
    ScaleType is formed from the last part of the Wikipedia page address, which here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtiss_P-36_Hawk
    Wikipedia page addresses may well change over time.
    For more obscure types, there currently will be no Wiki page found. We tag these cases as ScaleType = NotFound. These will change over time.
    Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new/better ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.

"Printwood designations intentionally reversed to show correctly when transferred". It's the first time I see this! It's a neat trick but not really useful for me as all my attempts at hot transferring ended up in 4" wide balsa corkscrews. My buddy Andy Warhol found them very decorative but we agreed they were not so nice for building a model.

Hi Mary and Steve, It's not the clearest document but maybe the attached reversed file of the printwood would be helpful to Miguel and others. Outerzone is the best website on the planet as far as I'm concerned... just wonderful!

Thanks Skippy, the last time I heard that name there was a kangaroo attached to it :-)
The printwood is alright, I have no quarrel with the image itself, rather with the hot transfer method which to me would be fine if I wanted to make a rollercoaster model. Nowadays I print the image on full page sticky paper and apply it on the balsa sheet, problem solved.
And I wholeheartedly agree with your last sentence!!!

Hi Miguel, You are in danger of revealing your age if you can remember one of the lead actors from a TV programme produced in the 60's! The original animal to which you refer came from a large island about 2,000 very wet kilometres west of where I live, so we're not related other than by name.
The hot transfer method of getting an image onto wood is no good for model aircraft but perhaps it can be used by boat builders to mark bulkhead locations while at the same time achieving nice smooth compound curves for hulls...
All the best,

Ah, my All-Black flightless bird, that sublime example of the carpenter's art the Fred Dunn's Astro Hog is younger than me and possibly you as well. I am coeval with John Darnell's Sopwith Swallow as published in Aeromodeller!
Miguel - 02/12/2019
Fred Dunn's Astro Hog is indeed younger than I am - my start in life was much closer to the publication in Aeromodeller of the plans for Brook's Biplane. However, my date of arrival on the planet is probably irrelevant now that I have discovered that the secret to eternal youth is to continue visiting Outerzone on a daily basis!

Notes

* Credit field

The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.

Scaling

This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
