Dave Platt Plans
Dave Platt had five 1/5 scale warbird plans that were very popular. His A6M3 Zero (RCM May 1984) and FW190 (RCM May 1986) were featured construction articles in RCM magazine. Platt's Me109 was among the first to lead the trend to one fifth scale warbirds, followed by his Spitfire. Platt's T-28 was an enlargement of his original 60 size T28.
Only the Zero and the FW190 were offered as plans only from RCM magazine. The Me-109, P-51, Spitfire and T-28 plans had to be ordered with the short kit from Dave Platt.

In 1960, I began aeromodelling at the age of 6 and that led to a lifetime of aviation reading and research for aeromodelling subjects with a strong interest in warbirds and unique aviation personalities. I've been fortunate to be attend EAA Airventure Oshkosh many times, Gathering of Legends at Duxford UK, in 2015, the Gathering of Mustangs and Legends in 2007 as well as many other aviation events. A highlight was a demo ride with the late Bob Hoover in the Shrike Commander at the 1984 Maple Leaf International Airshow at Gimli, Manitoba. Now retired from full time work, I do aeromodelling and aviation research full time when not visiting my two grandsons, Lennox and Edison! I'm also on Facebook as Kpk Warbirds.
