Lost instructions Revell 1/32 F4U-1D Corsair, Help, Help!
Posted by wahooman on Monday, July 11, 2005 9:48 PM
Can't believe it, I had brought the instructions in from my shop to study over in the evening. Yes, somehow, someway they must have gotten mixed in with the newspapers, and you guessed it. My wife trashed the papers and along the instructions of this a new kit that I had not even started yet. I'm hoping someone in the modeling world can get me a copy of the instructions by mail as I don't have a fax machine. I could go to a nearby store, but if possible I had rather try the mail. As stated it's the Revell 1/32 scale Vought F4U-1D corsair. This may help, there seemes to be a kit number on the box 04781. Would greatly appreciate if someone would mail me a copy of the instructions. I'll be more than happy to pay for any mailing cost. If no one helps, where do I go? HELP, HELP! wahooman

Hello Ashley

At the cost of being rude, I have the same problem as wahooman, with the addition that the seller 'forgot' to mention missing parts, including the pilot. which came with the kit (rare for Revell), which for me is very important. So would you be so kind as to e-mail mke the instructions as well please. My e-mail address is: rhetbutler_uk@yahoo.co.uk. Do Revell sell missing parts, as I really miss not having a pilot ...

I'm surprised, this particular kit's instructions are not available on Revell's instructions website page.  The instructions for the 1/48 (originally Monogram) kit are there, as are the instructions for the 1/72 (does that one go back to Revell's 1/72 catalog, prior to the merger?), but not the classic 1/32 kit.

Hi, Baron, Revell has a habit of taking the instructions down for kits that have been out of production for a while. I have the last release before going OOP by Revell Germany of the kit and if I remember right, I bought it about 6 years ago.

I have the 1/32 smithsonian version of the reveal kit - anyone know if this is the same kit/instructions?  I can scan and email if so?

Should be--as far as I know (Thomas Graham's book is my main reference for Revell kits), that was just a later reboxing of their classic 1/32 kit.  I built the other 2 boxings as a kid--the regular one, with Ira Keptford's markings, and the boxing released for "Baa!  Baa!  Black Sheep" in the late 70's.

This is making me nostalgic for that kit...
