Just bought the kit. There is no English on the box. Are English instructions in the box?? It is sealed and I prefer not to open it at this time.
Thanks in advance for your input. Bill
I don’t remember whether the original Imai version I bought (many years ago) had English instructions - and I have no idea whether Aoshima has provided them in the reissue. I do remember that the graphics in the instructions of mine were fine, and almost certainly would be sufficient in themselves to assemble the kit. I imagine the Aoshima version has the same drawings.
I’ll put in another plug here for the George Campbell drawings, which are available via the ship’s website: http://www.cuttysark.org.uk/index.cfm?fa=contentShop.productDetails&productId=40&startrow=1&directoryId=6
Even with the American dollar in its current wretched state against the British pound, these drawings are among the biggest bargains in ship modeling - and they contain just about every conceivable piece of information necessary to turn the Imai/Aoshima kit into a masterpiece.
