Hello! This is my first post and I'm actually kind of nervous, I have been lurking the forums for a while now and having seen all the great builds at this site kind of inspired me to take up the hobby as well.


I found this kit at the local second hand store for 85 swedish crowns, 12 dollars. The kit seems complete, some pieces have been removed from the sprue but were found in the box. The decals are there as well.

My question is this: The instructions are missing, is there any way of recovering them from the internet? I have done some searches and found no instructions at all. If anyone have good reference pictures or pictures of the same or similar builds I would be most grateful. Maybe I'm not that good of a researcher or maybe there are not so much information about this kit or the boat on the internet.

Thank you! / Emil

Ps: I got some images I would like to upload, how do I do that? Thank you again.

This is a great site to find instruction sheets for Revell models.

Hello again and thanks for your replies!

Julian: I have checked their site and I did not find the instructions, I think that my kit is too old.

Kev: It looks like it might be the same instructions even though the box art isn't the same. Maybe that kit is a remake of this one? If the image works we can find out. I'm rather sleepy right now so i will compare the bits in my kit to the ones in the instructions later. It's 1am in sweden right now and i need to go to sleep

Thank you Darren! Let's see if this will work.

This is the kit i got, i think it is from 1953
