ScaleType: This (oz4076) 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/Bell_XFL_Airabonita
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.

I’d always wanted to pay my respects to a real pioneer of our hobby, Joe Ott. His Airabonita (oz4076) seemed a nice challenge, but I’d always had a soft spot in my heart for the Airacobra. So here it is, the Airabonita metamorphosed into my heartthrob…the Bell XP-39B Airacobra [main pic, 004-008]. Ever since I was a child, it was the fighter with car doors that fascinated me, something I could identify with…just like Dad’s family Ford. And how about that tricycle landing gear! I named my model “Tin Man.” Every thoroughbred need to have a name. Turns out the lines resemble a Kingcobra more than an Airacobra, but no matter…this model is thoroughly Joe Ott. Thank you again, Outerzone!Neal Green - 20/02/2021
Neal, when (if ever) are you going to disappoint us?

Thanks, Jan. I'm still in awe of anyone who could construct a model from Joe Ott's non-strategic materials kits. That would truly be a challenge. Every time I open a cardboard food container I'm thinking "This has got to have some application to modeling!" :-) Joe Ott/Ace Whitman was determined to keep business and the hobby alive throughout the war years...and succeeded! It's really wonderful that Outerzone has such a marvelous selection of those pioneer plans available.

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.
