RE: Help Identifying pattern model
Not to mention that Curare's have a wing that is positioned nowehere close to where the wing is in that fuse plus they have the signature "S-shaped" chin entirely absent on this model. And then there is the canopy, and then the vertical, and the rudder, and the...
Vince, rest assured, if someone who knows little about classic pattern designs and is selling a classic, there is an 80% probability that the person will say it's a Curare - especially if it has an anhedral stab. I think I've come across that situation at least 3-4 times on the forum - "the guy said it was a Curare" - maybe, but they couldn't be further from the truth!
Vince, if it isn't a glass Atlas knockoff, it is pretty dang close. Take a look at the molds thread for Don's latest fuse - see the resemblance? Then look a couple of posts up at the Tipo fuses, the closest model to the Curare is the Tipo - it's cousin if you will. Note there is very little resemblance between the Tipo and the Atlas. For the vertical, you need only look at the Atlas plans (see attached).
