About this Plan

Lockheed Neptune. Scale control line twin model of the dual power (jet assisted) Maritime patrol and ASW aircraft. April 1961 Aeromodeller.

Quote: "With such a record of service, and its popularity as a scale subject, we could not resist the inclusion of the Neptune in its latest form, the P2V-7, in our plans range. This has bulged hood 'Stinger Tail' which holds the anti-submarine magnetic airbourne detection (MAD) gear and belly radome for forward detection. Also two Westinghouse J34 turbojet engines in wing mounting pods... Maurice Bodey, already well known APS designer for his Gannet (oz914), Viscount (oz3716), Shackleton (oz1200), and DC3 Dakota (oz3744), was specially commisioned to design this model Neptune, and has produced a fine example for two 1cc engines..."

    ScaleType: This (oz1553) 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/Lockheed_P-2_Neptune
    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.

User comments

The rib numbers on the vector drawing need to be corrected as they do not follow the original plan the vector version say a number 3 in the center up to a number one at the engine cowls then back down to the tip rib. Thanks,

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.
