Okay all you WWII aviation buffs, don't beat me up too bad. I did not draw anything to scale and I just made a few things up. No Attempt at realism. This is a very easy project and could even be made by an older child or grand child with a little help. The toughest part is contouring the fuselage. You need to taper the back to thin out the tail. That is best done with a belt sander. There are more details on assembly in the pattern book.
You will need 3/4" stock for the fuselage. 1/4" stock for the wings, gear and propeller. You will need 1/4" dowel and 3/4" dowel for the nose cone and nose cone assembly.
This plane is not appropriate for young children. The small parts will break off.

WWII Fighter Plane Scroll Saw Pattern.
Nativity Pattern from three years ago.
I get so many requests for a nativity display this time of year that I always re-post this pattern just before Christmas. I think I originally posted this in 2007. It's easy enough to cut that even inexperienced scrollers should be able to give it a go with success. The most difficult part is mitering the roof and walls. You can do the miters on the saw or use a bench top sander.
