Aurora Mig-19 (oz16653)
About this Plan
Aurora Mig-19. Free flight scale model for rubber power. Wingspan 27 in.
Direct submission to Outerzone.
Quote: "Steve and Mary, I was browsing your plans a few weeks ago and saw the Yak 25 (oz9693) plan. In reading through the comments by the plan and saw the discussion re: the origin of this aircraft being the German Focke Wulf TA-183 and the Lavochkin LA-200 with the Korshan Radar. This brought to mind the old plastic kit by Aurora and what they called the Mig-19. I built this plastic kit as a kid, shortly after Columbus discovered America. :)
So here's my stick and tissue version of the Aurora Mig-19 apparently with the Korshan Radar. I remember the bright green plastic that was almost "candy apple" finish. A very unique model.
I've drawn the German TA-183 with the radar nose which makes it the Aurora Mig-19! I've used the Rees' sliced rib wing construction for each panel. There's a great tutorial on Mike Stuart's site: https://www.ffscale.co.uk/rees.htm
I've shown all the fuselage formers for building the fuselage on a ladder jig. Maxfliart has a great tutorial on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yUYY1dqfH8
This fuselage has an integral vertical tail so it's built with the fuselage. The "T" horizontal stab is constructed using 3/32" sq and sheet balsa."
Corrections?
Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)?
That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

ScaleType: This (oz16653) 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/Focke-Wulf_Ta_183
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.

Hi TomI looked up the Mig19 not that common to me and found:
https://www.google.com/search?q=mig+19
I know the Focke Wulf Huckebein but did not know what parallels there are between these types. FW TA 183 & Mig 19.
May be you know something about these correlations, would be interesting to know Who „copies“ from whom?! Thx in advance Matzito

Tom, you deserve some sort of a Grand Prize! Making a flying model commemorating a for-the-kids imaginary design like that awful 1953 Aurora MiG-19 is an amazing feat :)
For a long time people from this side of the Iron Curtain knew near to nothing about what went on the Other Side, most especially military subjects. Secrecy was absolute, what came outside was propaganda and/or lies, both terms interchangeable.
I don't think that Aurora had even heard of any Ta 183, much less find any dwgs of it or some MiG-19. By the way, the only remotely similar prototype I found would be the MiG I-320 (pic at bottom), but I can't see any way for a photo of this to come out back then. Model companies in the 50s didn't care much about accuracy, nor did the kids :) By the way, the box art and completed model are suspiciously different, but it still sold.

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.
