Trumpeter kit. I have written Trumpeter a week ago and have never received a response. If Someone has the instrutions for a "1/700 us battleship BB-63 Missouri 1991" Kit #05705 maybe they could scan it or would copy it and mail it to me(I would pay the postage)

thanks

Hi Mark!
I might be able to help you out, mate...I'll check the old kitboxes when I get home to see if I still have one, and if I do it's yours, Bro...

Sorry, Mark...I dug through my notebooks and all that I have is trumpy's BB62 Missouri, 1983, mate...I know that I've built the kit, and I usually keep one copy of each kit instructions, but I must have tossed this one...

Thanks anyways.
I may just buy a second one just for the instructions and then maybe make it my first try at Photo Etched parts.... Practice on the first and super model the second

Again many thanks for trying and responding so fast

Sounds like a plan, Mark...sorry again for not being able to help you out, mate...I thought for sure that I had these instructions in my files...I save a copy of every kit that I build and put them in notebook binders in clear file pages (for reasons just like this!)...you would be surprised at how many times that I've gone back to reference another kit's instructions!
Have you tried to contact customer service at Trumpeter at all? I have never had to do this with Trumpeter, but I've had good luck in similar situations with other manufacturers...although your idea is a fine one too, my friend!
Keep Modeling!

Yeah, I wrote to Trumpeter's CS last week and again last night. I need to finish my bathroom remodel so I will keep writting them until then.

Like I said..an excuse to buy another model(even a duplicate) is a good thing.
