Build a toy Curtiss P-40



Hands On magazine started in 1979, eventually building up to 6 issues a year in 1980, then dropping to a final 2 issues in 1990.  Its demise no doubt reflected the general decline of popular interest in carpentry as a hobby.

I'm going to use this and make a 3D printable project for people referencing this exactly. Modernize!!

If I may be permitted a note of dissension here --

Perhaps, with sufficiently advanced software, a computer could scan the plan, interpret it and so instruct the 3D printer. Human involvement in the project could be all but eliminated.
