Hi everybody, I am new to this site, and first want to want to congratulate you all on this very nice site.
I am having a bit of a problem…
A friend of mine gave me a bunch of old half-started kits and one of them is a 1/72 Matchbox lancaster. It is missing parts, and more importantly the instruction sheet.
Does anyone know of a resource where I can obtain a copy of these instructions?
Failing that, does anyone know what happened to this Matchbox kit? Did any other brand buy it?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
revell bought most of the old matchbox stuff give them a try
Hi Cardshark, welcome to the forums. i’ll have a look to see if i still have a set of instructions for this one, can’t promise on it though. what parts are you missing? someone on here may have some spares or know whare you can get them.

I’d be happy to send you a copy of the instructions!!! send me your address via the email button below and i will send it away as soon as I can.
It happens to be the kit I am working on this very moment!!
also: what parts are you missing, i might not be using some of the ones your missing.
Welcome to the forum!
I have this kit, partially assembled, from Matchbox. If I can find the instructions (and the Kit!) in my attic, I could try to scan them and sent to you by e-mail (you’ve better have a big “In-Box”).
Regards,
Diego.
Hi cardshark_14 !
Just checking my old forum postings… Did you ever received what you’ve asked for?
If so… dis you finish this kit? (I still didn’t [:D] )
If you’ve finished it, mayde you’d like to share some pics of it with the forum!
Cheers from DownUnder,

Hi everyone, and thanks for all the help. Unfortunately, life, in the form of engineering school got in the way of my modeling and I’m just now getting back into it.
Diego- I haven’t finished it yet, truth be told, I haven’t even started it. 
Someday though, and I will post pictures…
Once again, thanks for all your help.
So, now that I’m gettin’ back up to speed, does anyone happen to have these instructions layin’ around?
Thanks!
Hi cardshark_14 !
Looks like you’re back at the point where I joined the chat, many moons ago! [;)]
Well Mate, now I’m in a different country but my kits are all boxed and in long-term storage (I miss my attic! [:D]). Even though, if you still need the instructions maybe I’d be able to access the right box (which one can be? [:I] ) and find those instructions to scan& email them to you.
Cheers from Downunder,

Howdy Diego!
Good to here from you, maybe now we can wrap up this internet chase [;)] Sounds like we’re finally on the same page at the same time. Thanks for putting up with my lack of responsiveness, school was hell, but its done now! So, to make a long story short, I am still missing those instructions, though I do have the paint guides that were included. So, though I have quite a few builds lined up ahead of the Lanky, I’d appreciate it if you could scan them. No big hurry, just whenever you get around to it…[:)]
Hi again! Life got between modelling and myself, only now slowly returning to active building… and yet haven’t got timeto retrieve my lanc kit ftom storage! Out of curiosity, did you finish your Lanc kit? Cheers.
