I need replacement instructions from Ertl
Posted by kathyregnier on Thursday, January 27, 2011 2:58 PM

I have a really old kit that was given to me it is the Pirate Ship made by ertl- It has all the parts but no instructions. I have tried their website but there aren't any phone numbers or way to talk to anyone. This kit is over 20 years old so do I have any hope?

Many ships were recycled as "pirate" ships by various manufacturers.  Your best hope for getting an answer to this is to provide a bit more detail.  A photo of the box top would be great, if not that than at least a kit number, usually found on the end panels.  If you have that you may be able to go to a site like the Rajens kit list and check the ERTL section to match up the kit by number to it's other matches.  It is probably the ERTL Spanish Galleon kit which was also sold by Revell but without a bit more information from you it is hard to tell.   WS

After IMAI go out of business, ERTL has made sailing ships kits from IMAI molds: Mayflower, Golden Hind, Chebec, Spanish galeon etc. IMAI has released Pirate ship too, and that ship was the same Spanish galeon, but molded in more dark brown plastic and has other sails decals than Spanish galeon (only that difference). Despite ERTL has released IMAI's Spanish galeon, maybe has released "Pirate ship" too, as IMAI did.

If You can post pictures of the kit, i can then sey exactly, which instructions (IMAI's or Revell's) You need. But i think, that IMAI's.

That's what PM is for. It's an abbreviation for Private Message. Nowadays you use it by clicking "Start Conversation" in another user's post. That will allow you to post a message only that user will see. Good luck with your build and have a nice day
