The only thing I didn't like about the kit was there isn't a printed instruction sheet The disc is nice but I like ti sit and read through an instruction manual I loved it when the instructions used to tell what the part was and had a nice history of what you were building I learned a lot when I was younger just from reading the instruction manuals I guess I still do I guess I'm what you'd call [Old School ]

I agree about those OLD instruction sheets. It is how I became familiar with what an elevator, aileron, rudder etc. was

Ordered

My first complete resin kit ( the second will be surely the Balilla), I hope that all will go well

But I couldn' t resist: seaplane, italian and made by Macchi that is about 20 miles form where I live

Cheers,

Andrew

I received my kit today and although the CD instructions are good I printed out the entire instruction manual, 24 A4 full colour pages.

Looking at the instructions and photos of the parts it seems this is a very nice kit! Not my cup of tea at this time but perhaps in the future I may be more inclined to build a Macchi M5

Thanks for the link. Had looked before and didnt see it. Looks very nicely laid out. Looking forward to seeing some of these built and hearing opinions. From first glance though looks a beaut.

I'm going to finish my scratch built Sikorsky S-16 then I might have a go at the HPH Macchi M.5, it looks to be a very impressive kit.

Looking forward to that. I succumbed to this kit as well; it will be great to see how you get on with it.

Looking at the instructions I was puzzled why each pair of cylinders on the Isotta Fraschini V.4 seemed to only have a single valve on each side... This photo explains it all -- two valves sharing a single spring! Interesting...

I was also puzzled when I printed out the instructions and saw only one spring, your photo explains it, thanks Bo.

The M-5 is now on offer with a bonus: a carved wooden propellor
