Thank you for posting this; I think there's also a somewhat blurred launch photograph of a "fun scale Soyuz" in the book, but I don't know if it was the same model as is depicted in the model plan. The book contains other simple scale model plans, too--off the top of my head, I think they include a Juno II, an ASP, and a gap-staged Aerobee 150A (there may be others, but I can't recall), and:
I can hardly wait for the scan of "The Art of Scale Model Rocketry" to be put up on the NAR's website. I help a teacher in the isolated community of Eagle, Alaska who uses model rocketry in her students' STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) classes, and she prefers creative rather than "put flap A into slot B" projects (in model rocketry, electronics, and amateur radio). Being able to do such creative scale projects would be just the sort of student activity she prefers, and being able to use model rocketry to also teach history would be an added bonus!
