USS Constitution 1/196 Model H-391 "Old Ironsides" 1978 Plastic model
Posted by NewMod on Saturday, February 12, 2022 5:50 PM

Hello,  I am new to modelling so I decided to dig up a kit I inherrited years ago and decided to try it out.  It was used and partially assembled ( Hull only) but the kit has no instructions.  The number of parts is quite overwhelming. So I decided to ask for help.

There's a website someplace where somebody has saved instruction sheets from many, many, many kits.  Ask on the ships forum and one of the members probably has a bookmark to it.

I believe that I may have that kit in my stash.  If I do, I'd be happy to copy the directions and send them to you.

I do have all the different releases of that kit and can send instructions for any version.  Which version of  the kit do you have?

Thanks for your help and encouragement. I did find some plans in the archive section.  One was from a 1974 kit and the other from the 2014 kit.  They are similar and with the combo I think I will be ok.  I am aquiring more appreciation for modellers at the attention to detail and working with very tiny parts is required.  I am a calm person which helps.
