Need copies of model kit instructions

PDF files of the Airfix instructions can be downloaded from the Airfix site.

Wasa and Victory are available but not the other two. The files are over 5Mb.

Edit: If the Heller HMS Bounty is the re-release of the Airfix kit you can also get the instructions at the Airfix site.

At the moment I can only access their site through Firefox. Some problem with cookies but more likely my firewall.

I can help you with many if not most of the Revell Ships.  The 36" Constitution and Cutty Sark definitely.  The 16" golden Hind, Spanish Galleon, and Mayflower.  The 18"  Charles W. Morgan, Flying Cloud and Stag Hound.  I also may have an extra copy of the 24" Constitution.

The Instructions that I do not have multiple sets of, I will send you copies of them.  Just give me a street address or PO Box.

As a Florida Native growing up and living in Orlando and DeLand, i know about hurricanes.  I have lost track of the number of hurricanes that I have gone through.

Takecare,

Jim

Hi Jake,

Sorry for your losses with Katrina. My best wishes for everything to get back to "normal" for you as soon as possible.

I build primarily steel ships, but I do have two plastic sailing ship kits in my collection. I can offer you the instructions for the Revell Charles W Morgan and the Heller Victory. I see several have already offered these, but if you still find yourself needing them you are more than welcome to them. Just send me a note at oz1998@cox.net and I'll copy and send them off to you.

Good luck !

Ted

Jake,

Sorry for your loss. I was deployed to New Orleans  in my LAV and it was a heartbreaking mess. I do have the Lindberg Jolly Roger and Captain Kidd instructions. Let me know the best way to get them to you. I would imagine you are in need of the decals as well. I will be printing some decal sheets in the near future and I will include a scan of my decals also, if you like.

Devin

Jake,

I'll be happy to scan the instructions from the Revell Golden Hind (the one you were kind enough to sell me some months back).  I can either e-mail the scans or print them out and mail them.  What's your preference?

By the way - I'm actually on the verge of starting that kit.  I've been compiling info on rigging of the period and cleaning up the workshop.  (I won't claim it was in as bad shape as yours, but it desperately needed shoveling out.)  The more I look at the kit, the better I like it.  It's a beautiful reminder of the days when model companies issued kits that were far, far better than they needed to be.

I am in for the Heller 1/50 Chebec. Mine is the Aurora/Heller which should be the same. Where do we send the correspondence to?

Jake

    Good to see you on the forum again my friend.I've got the Zvezda instruction sheet you need.Plus if you don't get any of rest let me know.I thought I send you a copy oy the instruction for the Imai Chebec when I send you the Golden Hind a month or so ago.

Rod

Jake,

I can get you the Pamir instructions. PM your address. Sorry I don't have any of the others.

Send what you listed above, I'm trying to set up an organized file so I can keep track of the many reply so I can keep them straight.  The ones who are goinf to email them Inst, try that I'l see if I can open them

Thanks Again,

Jake

Jake that's quite a fleet.  You listed galleon more than once under "Revell".  If one of them is the 1/96 version I have the Man O' War (1/96 scale) instructions and the galleon rigging plan sheet.  About 95% of this is the same for both kits.  If your decal sheet got wet, I have the sheet for the galleon main sail with the "big bird" on it.  I also have lots of parts from both kits in 1/96 scale except for hull halves and decks.  The yards, masts, pin rails, blocks, etc. are identical, so if you are missing parts I might be able to help.  I move that big box out of the way all the time but I hate to toss good spare parts.

Dear Ship Building Friend:

I'm trying to restore an old 36" Revell Plastic Cutty Sark--the riggings rotted.  Would like standing and running rigging plans if you know where to get them.  I loaned mine to a friend and....never to be seen again.  Please reply to:  DHostetler@unumprovident.com as I no longer have the AOL account.  Thanks in advance

This one's easy!  You'll find every detail of the rigging of the Cutty Sark's rigging (and just about every other feature of her) in the beautiful plans of her drawng by George Cambell, who was the naval architect in charge of her restoration back in the fifties.  The drawings are available from the gift shop on board the ship.  Here's the link:   http://www.cuttysark.org.uk/index.cfm?fa=contentShop.productDetails&productId=40&startrow=1&directoryId=6

I don't think I've ever seen three sheets of paper with more information on them.  The price, even with the current not-very-favorable exchange rate, works out to about $20.00, including shipping, making those plans one of the biggest bargains in model building.  I got my set many years ago, but several folks who've ordered them recently over the web report excellent, fast service. 

Have you tried here: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/plamo/

You can download Assembly guides of most of the kits listed there. 

Hope this help.

Yes,  all of them are needed, I was hoping to get another Airfix Wasa. That kit has some seroius detail!

Thanks for remembering for me.

I have some of the one's your looking for.  Let me know what you still need and I'll get them to you.  I just purchased a 1/96 1974 release of the Revell Cutty Sark for just $26.00 if that helps.
