Giant Scale Curtis SOC-1 Seagull Plans, Templates and Instructions You are bidding on a new set of plans for a Giant Scale Curtis SOC-1 Seagull. It includes the Plans and templates/patterns for cutting the parts for this good looking and flying classic biplane. The building instructions are also included. This plan has the landing gear as featured on the land based models, but floats could easily be added for water operations. Other plans are for sale too. I'll be listing them as I pull them out. This plan is in perfect condition. All of my items come from a totally smoke free environment. Plans are shipped rolled in a mailing tube. The Curtiss SOC Scout-Observation biplane was first ordered by the US Navy in 1933. It was flown a year later, and 135 production versions entered service with the Navy in late 1935. Initially, it was designed as an amphibian, but was produced as an aircraft that could be fitted with floats for a seaplane or wheels for a landplane. The Curtiss SOC was a two-seater, used as a seaplane on battleships and cruisers, to spot for the big guns and to scout beyond the horizon. The armament comprised two .30 calibre machine-guns. One of these guns was fixed and fired forward. The second was situated on a flexible mounting in the after cockpit. The SOC could also carry two small bombs under the lower wings. read more
