Dear Ship Building Friend:

I’m trying to restore an old 36" Revell Plastic Cutty Sark–the riggings rotted. Would like standing and running rigging plans if you know where to get them. I loaned mine to a friend and…never to be seen again. Please reply to: DHostetler@unumprovident.com as I no longer have the AOL account. Thanks in advance

This one’s easy! You’ll find every detail of the rigging of the Cutty Sark’s rigging (and just about every other feature of her) in the beautiful plans of her drawng by George Cambell, who was the naval architect in charge of her restoration back in the fifties. The drawings are available from the gift shop on board the ship. Here’s the link: http://www.cuttysark.org.uk/index.cfm?fa=contentShop.productDetails&productId=40&startrow=1&directoryId=6

I don’t think I’ve ever seen three sheets of paper with more information on them. The price, even with the current not-very-favorable exchange rate, works out to about $20.00, including shipping, making those plans one of the biggest bargains in model building. I got my set many years ago, but several folks who’ve ordered them recently over the web report excellent, fast service.

I can send Revell 36 inch Thermopylae and Cutty Sark. I will photocopy them tomorrow and post them off, if that is any help. I’m not much good (yet) and scanning and sending things by email. Robert

I have quite a few of the kits on your list. Would you be interested in scanned images of the instructions? (As I haven’t built most of these kits myself yet, I don’t really want to give the instructions away!)

26

Have you tried here: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/plamo/

You can download Assembly guides of most of the kits listed there.

Hope this help.

27

To repeat my previous question - Are you interested in scans of any of my kit instructions? I have:

Airfix Victory
Airfix Wasa
Airfix Discovery
Revell 16" Constitution
Revell 16" Santa Maria
Revell 36" Cutty Sark
Revell Mayflower (think this is the 16" one, not sure - it is a recent Revell AG issue)
Heller Le Gladiateur

(note I’ll be away from Monday to Friday next week)

28

Yes, all of them are needed, I was hoping to get another Airfix Wasa. That kit has some seroius detail!

Thanks for remembering for me.

OK, I’ll send them to you next week when I get back.
Is it OK if I e-mail you the scanned images rather than posting them to you?

I have some of the one’s your looking for. Let me know what you still need and I’ll get them to you. I just purchased a 1/96 1974 release of the Revell Cutty Sark for just $26.00 if that helps.

If it’s of any help; I have PDF copies of the instructions of Airfix’s Victory in 1/180 and Wasa 1/144. These were downloaded from the Airfix website before it stopped access to the files.

I also have the Airfix 1/87 Bounty. Could the Heller Bounty be a reissue of the Airfix kit? All files are over 5mb.

32

does anyone know where I can find printable instructions for kit models cause I want to build a Star Wars model but I seemed to have lost the original instructions

Hi Scott,

I saw your answer to Jake two years ago, regarding missing kit instructions to a Heller Preussen 1:150 and was wondering if you got the Preussen instructions as PDF?

I’m got the kit from a friend, but without instructions. I contacted Heller several times to get a new set of instructions, but they don’t respond to any of my e-mails.

Are you able to help?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Christian

hey big jake sorry to hear about your problems but i can tell you this . the easiest way is to contact heller by mail and they may help . i had a lot of heller kits that got water damaged in an apartment house fire (no it wasn,t my place but the one 2 doors down ) i wrote heller and asked how much replacement decals and instructions would be and within a month (i thought they forgot me ) what should come in the mail, ALL the instructions and decals i needed and there was no charge . this may not be the case for you but give it a try . tankerbuilder

36

dr crises i found out that they seem to respond better to snail mail … tankerbuilder

37

I have the model kit instructions sheets for the heller Preussen 1:150 in JPEG format. I have another sheets and review pictures model kits. please write me to ohgnuma@hotmail.com to send the pictures.
