Bill,


Nice job. I'm pleased to see that built and your input on it.

I've been looking at that model for years. It's a fine lookin' plane.

Subject: [Papermodels II 39053] Takumi' s Curtiss R3C-2 Build








Well, before I forget, here's the link:

http://www8.wind.ne.jp/takumi/s07.html

I did this build as a gift and ONLY AFTER I finished rigging it, did I
realize that I had put the lower wing on upside down.

Good, Bad, Ugly:

On the plus side, the site has a handy-dandy English link for instant
translation. 

The designer also put color squares in the corners of each page so that no
matter what size paper you have, none of the image will be lost.

I would normally rate this as a "Fiddler's Green" level plane. It has only 3
pages of parts, most of them fairly large.

Now, the problems....

Most of the parts are laid out "against the grain" of the paper.

No parts labeling. You need them all, but it would be much easier for some
type of parts label (numbers would be fine).

Small build pics. It would have been helpful for the build pics to be links
to larger pictures so that one could see what parts were supposed to look
like when glued down (Fig 5, 9, 10 specifically).

Were it not for these small difficulties, it would make for a very quick
build. As it is, it is a very nice little model once finished.
