Short Story - Please Help Missing Manual for Zhengdefu F-111E.
Long Story - I was across the otherside of the city today checking out a model and hobby wharehouse I’ve never been before, and the missus picks up a cheap/big plane for our youngest son, so he doesn’t feel left out on his siblings build (I really think shes just trying to torture me cause he’s only 4, LOL). So I help the young guy open the kit and bugger no instructions. So Please if you can help let me know, I dont really want to figure out if I can find the time to get accross again just to replace/exchange this kit.
Thanks Either Way

she is trying to torture you–that is an awful kit. Its only virtue is that it is cheap to buy. Sorry to say that I dont have the instructions for it, but I came across that kit some years back and I do recall that the instructions were not very helpful anyways. You probably would do just as well to build it based on looking at the parts, because the instructions were quite vague. Another heads up–the decals were absolutely the worst I have ever seen. They even included some decal that said something like “no smoking in this vehicle” or something like that. They were quite blurry and not at all usable in the kit I had. I know the kit is for your son, but just thought I would mention some things.
I cant think of a better kit for a little bloke to start on. People may bag these Zhengdefu kits, but for young’uns who may not have much pocket money, they are the ground-level entry into this hobby. Lord knows its expensive enough for working adults ! I think its a shame that the discount chain stores like The Warehouse and Crazy Clarks stopped selling them (At least in Qld anyway) For $7-$10 a throw, its cheap entertainment. Anyway, enjoy. Hope they come out.
Wirraway, Thankyou very much , also if it helps the tacka is actually a queenslander (not a two headed tasmanian like his siblings LOL). Yeah I think the price was resonable for 1/48 that no doubt will be played with and “modified” when his finished, you really wouldnt want to be shelling out for tamiya or similar for a 4y/o, so thanks again

All the kit is is just a Academy F-111E in a Zhengdefu box. So pretty much any Academy instruction sheets for the F-111 will help you assemble this kit. Though the weapons could use a little Hasegawa update.
