The hull, masts, and fittings have all come together reasonably well, but I am brought to my knees with the rigging instructions. Pulley numbers change from view to view and lines disappear into thin air from drg to drg. Please does anybody out there have some English instructions that I could buy or get to download. if the file is too large to transmit via email could somebody post them to me. I would reimburse the sender for costs involved. My email address is “Michael. johnson21@optusnet.com.au” alternatively my postal address is #6 Tuxen Place, Hillarys, Western Australia 6025 Thanking whomsoever you might be Michael Johnson
I have the English instructions from when the kit was first released decades ago as Aurora/Heller. I have yet to start the rigging so I don’t know if this will help but I’ll email them to you later today when I return home. I also have a printed version that is on large sheets of paper which may help in following where things go. Look at the pdf version and let me know if you want a printed set.
I just emailed the plans in two batches plus one more because there was a page missing. Good luck and let me know if this helps or if you want the printed version on 11x17 inch sheets.
I have seen books on ship rigging in libraries. You might check to see if you can find one or two. Also, try asking this in the ship forum. I am sure you will get more answers there. That kit has had several threads in that forum, so I know a number of folks (including me) have built or are working on that kit.
