Dangit. I have been searching for one of these kits that didn't require taking out a second mortgage for about 15 years now!

I have been looking for this manual for my dad.

I have found a free PDF here at this link

https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/2/6/4/948264-45-instructions.pdf

This is also the main page if you were intrested in any more info.

https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-8614-wasp-radial-engine--948264

Upon printing the pdf i changed the scale to 110% to fit the page!

I hope this helps whoever is looking!

Yes; that is it.  Thanks for the clarification.  Any luck with the instructions?  I'm still coming up dry.

Sorry that I can't help. I was hoping to find something where I found that photo, but, no luck. I would like to have one of those models, but, couldn't find one of them listed anywhere either...not that I really expected to due to the age.

I did find this:

And this:

With a price like that, you may want to sell it!!! Sorry again, out of my price range!

Renwal is part of Revell, might give them a try and see if they have them on file somewhere.

Do you mean "RENWAL" instead of Revell?

Thanks for the feedback.  I did email Revell and they wrote back saying that they don't have the plans.  I asked them if they are going to make that model again, and they said that it has been discussed but not going to happen soon.

I too searched Google.  Nada.

Will check the references forum.

Still looking for help and ideas...

Thanks.

Or even try contacting Revell?  Can't hurt to try if you haven't already.  Please don't forget to post pictures of the finished kit.  I'd like to see it.

Have you tried a google search?  Also, you might try a search in the References forum.  Most of the threads there are about scale references, but once in awhile someone asks about instructions.

Revell 1/4 wasp radial visible aircraft engine - need instructions
Posted by DaveHarr223 on Tuesday, April 21, 2015 10:40 AM
My father-in-law had a knee replaced and was going stir crazy. He is the kind of guy who likes to work with his hands. So, I bought him some visible engine kits which he put together. It has been good for him with the additional benefit of providing a subject that he and my son can talk about. I bought him a Revell 1/4 wasp radial visible aircraft engine kit, but I need the instructions. Does anyone know where I can get a copy? Perhaps they're scanned somewhere and can be emailed? Thanks.
