Let’s regress abit and talk about three-views; now there’s a paradox if ever there was one. 3-views should be used for what they are: a drawing by a draftsman and his interpretation of what the particular aircraft (not necessarily your prototype) he used for his drawing looked like and not as what one’s modeled aircraft outline looks like. Not one of my five Scale Master Waco’s (all were of existing aircraft) 3-views were correct. Each prototype airplane had variants and deviations from existing available drawings. One gets tired of inserting on the drawings, exceptions and differences that were incorporated in the model’s construction (based on photos) but not shown on the drawings. I now use actual photographs of the prototype airplane rather than someone’s drawing of say a typical 1929 Waco CTO. And still I sometimes forget to incorporate some detail a Static Judge is just waiting to pounce on.
