I see plan and article at https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=6602
Is that anything you can use?
I built a Blue Pants as a kid. Wish I still had it. Might even learn to fly it.

             I do have a set of instructions . After years and years, I finally built mine. I have to say I'm impressed with it. I only needed to change minimal wood parts mostly plywood.  What are you asking of them? They offer nothing other than step by step instructions. The only profile I know of that offered full size plans are the S-1A.

Those early Sterling profiles had basically the same construction layout.  No full size plans.  Even details on set and flying each of them.  The kits were a building, finish and flying instruction sheet.  The Yak was the first one I built of the series. D>K

Thanks guys!  Paul wins the jackpot - it's not for me, it's for a kit that is missing the instructions.

Talk about a trip down Memory Lane!  I got my first Combat win in 1957 with a Sterling Mustang and a Fox .35 up front.  That was SIXTY-SIX years ago this month!  And I couldn't begin to count the Mustangs, Yaks and Ringmasters I've flown before and since.

Those 1952 Sterling kits are literally immortal.
