The color of the paper is incorrect making it difficult to clearly understand some of the steps
The colour of the paper is not incorrect, using paper with a white side would be almost incomprehensible with a white background… which is why we only use paper with two different shades on each side. Hope that makes sense.
Step 26 and 28 are very hard.
It’s hard to follow along
I agree, it refers to wings and tails even though we don’t know which is which, and it I can’t figure out what they folded.
very good
The one on the left is how they’ve explained to make it because there not clear on where your folding and I ended up swapping the wing for the tail but I guess it’s clear enough if you try twice
what is 25 and 26?
Yeah, I just don’t get this one. I tried and tried 7 times but didn’t work. A bit too hard I would say.
