ScaleType: This (oz4959) 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/Grumman_F8F_Bearcat
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.

Dear Sir, Sorry do you have also the ribs sheet I think the plan set is made by 3 or 4 sheet. Regards,Antonio - 31/10/2013
Hi Steve, Someone started a Royal / Marutaka plans thread in RC Groups , and scanning through that I found these tracings of the parts for the subject kit. Some of the parts on the pages are a bit rough, but they are usable, and for anyone not wanting to figure the dimensions / do a full scratch build, they would be a plus... Have a great day, and keep up the good work you have been doing. Your Outerzone is a fantastic resource!

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.
