Thanks for the reference. Chalk this one up to poor research of the designer, because his intention was to model the K. Campbell plane, as he states that specifically in the instructions. I suppose 1993 was pre-internet so we can cut him some slack

I received the kit yesterday, safely and in good shape considering the age. I got the formers laminated (almost 2 whole pages worth). I also started some cutting and coloring if piece number one. I did notice some tearing at the very end of a few cuts, but overall there's not too much discoloration or print color mis-registration.
Unfortunately I also ran into the 'batteries in the camera dead', and after the small allowable amount of badgering she who must be obeyed about using it last, it was plugged in for charging and I will attempt to get some pictures today
