I just returned to California from Thailand and looked at my Alabama rigging instructions from Revell before Revell Germany and discovered that they are clear and easy to follow unlike the Kearsarge Revell Germany plans I had been working from. My Kearsarge is in Thailand where I have a place and the Alabama was here in California so this is the first time I could cross reference. Although a person can get books and fill in for the chaos in the Revell Germany plans, this post is to let you know that if you can get hold of some old Revell Alabama rigging instructrions they can whizz you thru the Kearsarge without a care. Wahooo! Let the rigging (refit?) begin.
Also I got my hands on the Bluejacket 5/32" (smallest) blocks I had ordered for my Kearsarge and they may be too small. They are about 9" scale, I think, and it looks like the next size up may be perfect for Kearsarge and Alabama. I'll get some soon and find out and post. Thanks, Paul
