All the the plans offered on The Model Shipwright and The Model Shipwright blog are available on this site in high-resolution files. The images on the blog posting are linked directly to the page here with the downloadable files, or you can search from this page by ship type, ship name, or the historical period in which it was built. We put a lot of work in tracking down these plans, and in some cases digitized them ourselves and put in time cleaning up and repairing the images to make them more useful. Feel free to use them for your modeling projects, but please don't just take them to repost on your site. We have digitally watermarked them to identify them as coming from this site.

Added nice pic of a completed model, thanks to Avi [more pics 003].

Good afternoon Mary. Seasons greetings. I hope you are both doing ok. A couple of pictures attached of the Frog Minx from your plan oz 2400 [pics 008, 009]. Only alterations are detachable landing gear and additional bracing struts for..

Jude Perera : Lazy Bee : 02/01/2021

Lovely model that looks just right with slightly sweptback elliptical wings. I built a single channel / rudder only version powered by an MP Jet 040 PB 0.6cc diesel and on full power it would go almost vertically. Much better with engine..
David Hill : Aspis : 02/01/2021

I've built a couple of these from the Sig kit. They are really easy to build and fly quite well. Even the one I built with a friend when we were 10 or 12 flew well.
Lincoln : Thermal Delta Dart : 02/01/2021

Hi Martin, funnily enough, the Horsely was the first scale rubber model that I ever drew plans for, in pencil, inked with a ballpoint pen on A3 paper. I would have been about eight at the time and I seem to recall it was to have a 16'..

I built a Sinbad 40 about 1958 or so, took a lot of my paper route money to get it finished. I admit I didn't do a very good job on the crappy Berkeley kit, my first try at using silkspan. I followed the directions for covering,..

This was originally a Berkeley kit. The AMA plans listing says it's from 1945.
For me, anyway, this is a challenging build. In the kit I'm using, from Sig, R-2 and R-3 didn't seem to be anywhere. However, there was an unmarked sheet..

About Outerzone

Outerzone is a listing of free vintage and old-timer flying model aircraft plans to download. The listing is free for everyone - you don't need to register or log in to download these plans.

You can view model plans by category tag (like say free flight, control line, radio control, scale, rubber, etc..) using the browse plans pages. Use the list all page for a full A-Z text listing. There is a keyword search on the search page, or you can try the advanced search page for more detailed searches. There is also an experimental area called the TagMatrix where you can view all the plans that match your own chosen combination of tags (and wingspan and year of origin).

For a quick visual fix, you can page through the latest plan thumbnails added or the latest model pics added, at 60 pics per page.

Outerzone was designed to be maintained and updated by volunteers called Site admins who get involved but (perhaps predictably) it hasn't ever really worked out that way. So with the exception of a few good people who have helped out here in the past (see below) at the moment it's essentially just me. See the FAQ page for more details on how this site works, and why.

Outerzone is also (I hope) a secure repository for vintage model aircraft plans that may have historical significance.

Got feedback? Suggestions? email me. Really, feedback is what we need most.

Want to help me maintain and update this listing? See the get involved pages for more details.

Want to make a donation? The continued running of this site (since launch in March of 2011) involves both time and money. If you want to make a small contribution then click here to donate using Paypal. And bless you.

RCLibrary

Launched in September 2015, RCLibrary is the new sister site to Outerzone. A small but fast-growing collection of old-time modeller books and periodicals, held online as PDF files for free download. Everything is free. The library is open to everyone - you don't need to register or log in before you start downloading these titles. There are no charges or subscriptions. Basically, it's Outerzone for books.

What is the difference between Outerzone and VinPlanDex? Well..

VinPlanDex is is an exhaustive and complete index of every plan that has ever been posted on the Vintage & Old-Timer Plans thread.

In comparison Outerzone is a slightly random collection of plans in PDF format. Outerzone does not include all the plans posted on the Vintage & Old-Timer Plans thread. At a guess, only about 80%. Some plans on here are not from that thread. Also, some are direct submissions.
