Hi everyone,

Thanks for your comments, gentlemen. We're getting there (finally!) with this set. We have now received a test print of the plan and the instructions. Both are good so the run is being printed this week. I'll pick up the instruction booklet tomorrow and the plan at the end of the week.

Here are a few photos of the 28 page instruction booklet. The size is A4. The image below shows the title page. On the right are two of the four colour A4 sheets that will accompany the instructions. Some of the PE parts on our set are very small. To help the modeller see exactly what the part looks like, and its purpose, we have included a drawing of each part in out set (larger in size than the real parts).

 

These pages cover the fitting of the deck -



Some tower details, and the tower hatch -



The attachment points for the aft jumping wires -



I'll post a photo of the plan in a week or so.

Cheers,

Dougie

60 Bucks! That is a great price. You can count on an order from me. I don't have the kit yet but that never stoped me from getting stuff.

Yes, wild, I think of it as simply planning and preparation. When CDs came out, I bought CDs before I had a player...

Glad you like, and glad you got quick. Dougie has put his heart into this, and I think it shows. As we liek to say at AMP, "it's about the model" - which hopefully implies a lot.

We hope it's a fun build and would love to see pix.

Received my Type IIA upgrade set in the post this afternoon and I am extremely pleased.  It is a beautiful thing.  Congratulations to AMP for their excellent work, the attention to detail and commitment to accuracy are immediately evident.  There are no disappointments here and no excuse to compromise on an accurate Type IIA.  Superb product at a very reasonable price!

Mr. Bill
