[. I am more asking about specically how the judges like to see them organized and laid out. Having them is one thing, presenting them properly is another. That is really the heart of my question.[/QUOTE]

Oops, sorry.
I'll try to explain.
You are entitled to 8 pages - not including the title page or the "Builder of the Model declaration" (BoM is for competing in EXPERT & TEAM class)
3 view drawings are NOT required but they do help the judges to "map out" their evaluation progression and to make notes for your reference.
The 3 views can be presented on either 8 1/2" x 11" or 11" x 17" size paper. You can provide extra 3 views for this note-taking if you desire.
You may also provide extra copies of the 3 views for each of the three judges to be used as a quide or for notes as well.
The three judges are trained to always use photos when in doubt about some details and NOT refer only to the 3 views.
...eg; say that your model has a 7 cylinder radial engine but on the 3 views it shows a 9 cylinder engine. (PT-17s used both)
the OUTLINE judge should refer to your photos to confirm this detail & NOT go by what's on the 3 view. *contestants are responsible for providing ample documentation for ALL details on the model*

Do not fall into the old trap of - "less is more"
You must provide proof of your decissions regarding color choices,markings placement,panel line placement,type - size - spacing & placement of rivets,type of rigging for bracing wires - flat or round,
the use of rib stitching or not, the use of pinking-tape or not, what type of hinges were used on your prototype, ....the list goes on. Any decissions you make, must be documented.

There are three static judges:
OUTLINE
COLOR & MARKINGS
CRAFTSMANSHIP
...and they should not be talking to each other EXCEPT to prevent a double downgrade. eg; the Craftsmanship judge may downgrade for incorrect nomenclature placement and needs
to verify that the Color & Markings judge did not make the same downgrade. Remember that the Craftsmanship judge may approach the model up to 4 feet to make his evaluations.
And the Color & Markings and Outline judges are 15 feet away.
The OUTLINE judge is to evaluate ONLY the plane's outline - in the sticktest sense of the word. He also evaluates the plane's "shape" - eg; on a F4U Corsair, the rear fuselage is NOT
flat sided as TopFlite would have you believe. It is rounded and this shape is hard to see using only a 3-view drawing. That's why you need to provide good quality photos taken from
all sides of the plane. A good OUTLINE judge can quickly & accurately evaluate a model's outline using only photos and they don't have to be taken at perfect right-angles to the fuse.
This is important to remember when there are no accurate 3-views available. Case-in-point: the Stinson SR-9

...so with all this in mind, it is important to just put yourself in the shoes of each judge and evaulate your own model and see if you have adequate proof of the details. And if you spend
2,3,4,5,6,7,8 years building a scale model for competition, don't you want credit for all of the little details that you put into it? That's why you should provide detailed photos of the small
details for the Craftsmanship judge.

The documentation book:
It must be in three parts. One for each judge. It is recommended to use a three-ringed-binder so you can quickly seperate the sections when presenting the model for judging.
You will hand each judge his or hers section (or placed in the appropiate box on the table)
The OUTLINE judge should have a view of the side - the front and IF available, the plan-form-view. Now that one is pretty hard to find photos for the plan-form-view. So, that's
where the 3-view drawings can help. As noted in my previous post, you don't have to show the exact same plane in your photos used for judging outline. HOWEVER, if you build
a model of a "one-off" or non-production plane, you will need to show a photo of that exact plane. But you may use any photo of a Fokker DVII to prove OUTLINE & SHAPE.
If you're replicating Ernst Udet's DVII, you do not need a photo of his DVII to prove OUTLINE. Because he flew a production plane, you may use any photo of any DVII.
But to prove COLOR & MARKINGS for Udet's DVII, you must have documentation of that particular plane.

The OUTLINE judge does not evaluate panel-lines,rivets,hatches,latches,spokes in wheels,number of ribs or stringers,whether or not your model has the "half-ribs"....all that stuff
is judged by the CRAFTSMANSHIP judge. The OUTLINE judge will look at - anything that is part of the outline. eg, nav-lights,trim tabs that are on the outside like on some rudders.
The shape of the cockpit "cutouts" and upper wing hand-holds IF they "break" the line of the trailing edge. Anything that "breaks" the line or protrudes like windshields,landing gear
struts,tires. All included. But things like the hatches on a SBD Dauntlass rear fuse are checked by the CRAFTSMANSHIP judge. The left side hatch is more square and the right
side one is round. These details are important to document.

So how do we arrange all that "Proof"? (in only 8 pages)

You need to be able to include multible photos on one page. Usually the OUTLINE judge gets a set of 3-views (with notes regarding differences between model and drawing)

and maybe one page of small photos (say, 6 on one page) to confirm small details such as the landing gear details, those trim tabs that break the outline of the wing or tail etc.

The Color & Markings judge gets enough photos to prove the size and placement of insignia,color chips,nomenclature like on the side of a Stock P-51D or PT-17, any stenciling,
stripes,lettering etc. Usually one or two sheets is enough.

The CRAFTSMANSHIP judge needs the most pages and detailed photos possible.Up to 4 pages is not uncommon.

Remember too that you may include an extra set of 3-views for each judge and those are not counted in the total page count.
So, just remember to seperate all the pages into three "packets", one for each judge.

Sorry for the LONG post.
