hello all,

after having a nose through my collection of recently acquired kits, ive found that my old man decided it would be fun to lose/hide/misplace a few of the instruction sheets.

is there a site which has an archive of model kit instructions and if not, where is a good place to go look for them?

thanks
lampie

Here is the site which links to downloadable Revell instructions.

It's often worth typing the kits name and number and "instructions" into a search engine if your after a specific kit.
I don't think theres a site which deals with instruction leaflets as a subject but many manufacturers ( as in the case of Revell) may offer downloadable instructions as part of their product support.

Hope this helps,

Nige

Once you learn how to navigate around THIS SITE you can find scans for quite a lot of kits.
HERE is a sample of what you can find.

Hope this helps.

Cheers, D

If I can navigate through it then it must not be that confusing! What I do is click on the Military box in the top row. Then I just type in the kit description (Stuart, M1A1, etc.) or the mfg. and catalog number. If they have it, that's how I've found it. Good luck.

I believe IPMS UK has just such a service. Give'em a try.
Keep'em flying!

Hi Wayne,

It's probably worth listing the actual kits (maker, scale, item number) so we can all see if we have instructions for them. No promises, mind! You're at the mercy of other folks' buying habits... I know I tend to keep the instructions and spare decals from mine long after the box has gone in the recycling, so hopefully there's enough of us with small collections to cover all your kits.

Tom
