Quote: "I was gifted with this kit a few months ago. The wood and plastic parts appear to all be in the box. The plans are a bit yellowed, though, and I don't know if I'd trust the tissue... Love your site, refer to it all the time! :-)"

ScaleType: This (oz15950) 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/Fokker_D.VIII
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
Hello Steve, If anyone's planning on building the kit, they may find Outerzone useful for plan printing. When I built this kit, Sterling kindly included an 18" span plan. Looking at open box photos, it appears I'm not the only person who received this error. The model did turn out to be an excellent 4ch micro rc flyer however [pic 006], with a good bit of lightening achieved by recutting parts with lighter wood. I set the wing flat bottom surface at zero degrees to the thrustline, with a good degree of positive incidence on the stab, which produced a very stable, hands off flyer. Take careBillG - 09/04/2025

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.
