Hi,
Is it possible to use another set of instructions, I think the kit was traded and re-marketed by other companies? Do you know what scale the model is. You need to remember although the kit was Aurora it may have been re-popped by someone else.
Search this string on ebay, you night fins someone with an old kit.
