1 forum posts | Hello from the States. How can we get permission to copy plans from previous issues to share with other modelers here in the States? A lot of us would like to build a model of Brian Perkins' VW Boxer Model published in 2005. First are the plans copyrighted? If so, where do we go to get permission? Thanks, David Yatsko davidyat@roadrunner.com |

You may be able to contact Brian and see if he is able to offer plans for which he will hold the copyright to the originals. Or you could all buy a digital subscription and access the plans that way. If you were in the UK then backissues would be easier and cheaper to buy at a pound or two per volume. |

Unfortunately that would seem not to be an option as it looks like he died a little while ago, assuming this post refers to the same chap, https://www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=141158 |
