Cleveland Quicky Reproductions

The models in this section represent reproductions of the old Cleveland E-Zee series of pre-decorated all balsa models. The models in this series are smaller than those in the Quicky series.

The models shown here along with the plan packages are a best attempt to reproduce the original series in their original form. This series of models did not come with a printed plan. The back of the box had an exploded view of the model and some building notes. An illustrated assembly guide has been developed for each package to hopefully make it easier to build the models. All of the plans are in the Adobe PDF format. Each package contains multiple pages that are printed on U.S. legal size paper (8.5" x 14"). A link is provided with each model description to download the associated plan package. WHEN PRINTING MAKE SURE THAT PRINT SCALING HAS BEEN TURNED OFF.

A description of the method I use to print the parts directly on balsa is provided here. Just click on the link.

NOTE - A very good alternative to printing the parts for these models directly on balsa it to use T-shirt iron-on transfer paper. This material comes in 8 1/2" x 11" sheet size and works very well for transferring the drawn parts to balsa. A summary of the process for doing this is covered here. The major advantage of using this process is any printer can be used. To make it a bit easier to use iron-on transfer paper to create the full color parts for these models an alternate parts drawing package is provided. This drawing package has been laid out for U.S. letter size sheets and A4 size sheets. Links to the iron-on transfer packages are provided in each model section of this page.

I do hope that if you decide to build any of these models, you will receive as much enjoyment as I have from my trip down memory lane.

Cleveland E-Zee Series
	This is the F-84F Thunderstreak. Steve Kranish provided scans of his kit to allow me to develop the reproduction package. The markings are those provided on the pre-decorated parts with background color added where the original was bare balsa. The model has a wing span of just a little over 8". The plan package is available here (514 kb). Iron-on transfer paper layout letter size package (101 kb), A4 size package (101 kb). If you have access to a 3D printer a vacuum form canopy mold 3D model in the .stl file format can be found here (8.4 mb). Also, a 3D print file for three 1/2" wheels as used on the model can be found here (2.5 mb).
	North American F-86 Sabre. Steve Kranish provided scans of his kit to allow me to develop the reproduction package. The markings are those provided on the pre-decorated parts with background color added where the original was bare balsa. The model has a wing span of a little over 12". The plan package is available here (489 kb). Iron-on transfer paper layout letter size package (74 kb), A4 size package (74 kb). If you have access to a 3D printer a vacuum form canopy mold 3D model in the .stl file format can be found here (8.9 mb). Also, a 3D print file for three 1/2" wheels as used on the model can be found here (2.5 mb).
	F-88 Vodoo Prototype. Steve Kranish provided scans of his kit to allow me to develop the reproduction package.
