True, and ANY plan needs checking. The MM plans for this car are pretty detailed, even to the construction of the "ribs" or carlines, so I expect they were derived from RR plans or Carbuilder's Cyclopedia drawings. A lot better than the rather sad RMC "drawing" of the SBD roundroof box that appears to be the onlyn published drawing of that car (at least in the Model RR press).
