Help with Trumpeter 1/500 Uss Nimitz kit

I agree with Bigb123. I had that kit when it first came out and trashed it. It was nothing more that a toy, reminding me of the old "Mighty Matilda" toy aircraft carrier of my childhood.

I actually had this kit myself.  It is mady by Mini Hobby Models.  I threw it away in favor of Trumpeter's 1/350 scale Nimitz.  More detail on the 1/350 kit... The  1/500 scale kit was, to say the least, worse than any bathtub toy I've ever seen.  

(Oops...my bad.  These pages are for the 1/350 scale model.  I will look and see if I can find the 1/500 scale model instructions.)

All 28 pages are included at the following review:

Replace the number 71, with consecutive numbers up to 98 and you will see them all.

hope the painting guide with yours is better than the one in the 1/350 scale kit. all but useless

I just Purchased the Trumpeter USS Nimitz Kit, and found that the assembly directions are missing. I went to Trumpeters web site and I had no luck. I could not get pass the main page. Does any one know where I can order  them or down load them

Harold,

Trumpeter's US distributor is "Stevens International and they are VERY good about supplying replacement parts.  I recently got replacements for my 1:350th Lexington and it just cost me $5.00 for postage and handling.  Here is their customer service rep's email addy:

lauracarney@stevenshobby.com

I received a response from her within 24 hours.

Good Luck

Ray

Maybe somebody here could help.
