Thanks loads WOT but Dave over at DryDock sent me instructions out of a kit he has lying around. Incidently if anyone else is interested in this kit Dave is looking to part with his. I just want to say thanks to all who have helped. This is truely a hobby that gravitates wonderful and talented people to it! Thanks again all, Dan

AWF,

I have that kit, bought it in the early 70's and have yet to build it (!), and I'd be happy to copy the instructions for you. Can't recall if the sheets, which are full scale to the model, are printed on both sides or not but, if not, I can get them blue-lined and sent to you. E-mail me at gazoobafish@hotmail.com. I could also photograph them and send the digi-pix to you.

WOT
I stop in the local cafe now and then just to see what I've been up to.

Thanks Steve,

That was the first step I took upon discovering the missing instructions. That was a week ago now and no reply. They strongly urge customers on their site to contact distrubutors in their appropriate countries but the distributor for my neck of the woods is Hanson ltd of Canada whose site requires customer login info.

Dispite the rough start I am anxious to tackle this ship. If any one has any info on her history (or more importantly, instructions!) I would love to hear from you. Regards, Dan

    I would try their website at www.billingboats.com. They still list the model as available. I would bet you could e-mail them and get the instructions. The website has an icon for english. I am currently building their mayflower kit which is very nice.
Good luck,
Steve

Hello fellow builders.

   I have just obtained the Billings model Norske Love in a private sale and find that the kit came without instructions! Everything else appears to be intact according to the inventory list on the box. Does anyone have instructions for this ship and further, has anyone any experience building this kit? Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. There appears to be precious little info available online pertaining to this vessel - in english anyway. Thanks in advance.
