I don't suppose anyone's got the Instruction Sheet for the 1/48th scale 'Accurate Miniatures' Grumman Avenger, have they?
I've just been having a close look at the Italeri kit I bought, to see what might be needed for a FAA machine. This beautiful kit is the Accurate Miniatures kit, under the Italeri label.
BUT! The instruction sheet is abysmal! Apart from being very poorly laid out, with very vague diagrams, some of which don't show where some of the parts actually go, a whole section, or two, have been missed entirely!
The diagrams jump from assembling the interior, to fitting the wings, missing out eveything in between, including what goes where in the fuselage halves, and the joining of the latter!
The gun turret is shown being assembled AFTER the model is virtually complete, and the drawings don't give a clue as to where some of the parts for this are supposed to fit, or how!
Normally, I wouldn't have a problem with a poor, or even missing instruction sheet, but, this is a fairly complex, and highly detailed kit, where it will be important to get all the interior fittings etc in the right place, the rightway round etc.
So, if anybody has, or has built, the Accurate Miniatures vesion, and has the instruction sheet/booklet, I wouldn't mind a copy if possible.
Thanks,
Terry.
