Seems like the answer is no. Too bad, that is one beautiful model.

Al Rabe's 3rd Book of his modeling archive has plans for the Critical Mass on page 272. They're pretty basic and have been scaled down, so I don't know how useful they'd be. Here's a link to it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1d6AgXlAvOAta7vyr9HUn2MdPgA8mwwvC/view

Regarding that link from Jake:  the photo on page 11 sure looks interesting.

The same Critical Mass plan that Jake mentioned appeared in the January 2008 issue of Control Line World as a two-page centerspread.  It could be removed easily, scanned, and enlarged.

Would a copy of that plan be available from PAMPA?

Just finished reading Al Rabe's book on the Critical Mass.  Found he had included the Mustunt II build.  I guess I may have to pull the kif offf the cabinet and start working.  Need to get materials for the jigs he shows.  I wish to thank all for this article especially Al for his crafts man ship. D>K  Now it is bed time. H^^

By the way when and if I do get it done I will need a pilot. H^^
