I just won an item on eBay knowing that it didn't have instructions, but it did mean that it was failry cheap.

So does anyone have the following set of instructions or know where I can possibly get  set?

Airfix 1:72 RNLI Severn Class Lifeboat

Gondor's Modelling Rule Number Three: Everything will fit perfectly untill you apply glue...

I know it's in a book I have around here somewhere....

Here you go:

If you need a full copy, I can scan it for you.   Strangely enough, I've got the kit right next to me as I've been sniffing the plastic the last few nights.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Phew, that's a complicated kit, and it's not all that large either!  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

Yeah, it's put me off building it a bit. Reading reviews, the early boxings fit poorly but the red boxes go together like a dream.

No idea what Airfix have done to improve it.  Of course, I've got the grey box .... :rolleyes:

A scan of it sent as a PDF would be great  :thumbsup:

PM me your email, if I've got time I'll send it tomorrow.  If not, I'll send it early next week.

This thread inspired me to clip the hull parts from the sprues. I can confirm that the fit of my kit is crap.  :banghead:

I've had another dry fit and it's better than I thought.  The key for me, was to deviate from the instructions and to fit the deck to the upper hull parts and then add the lower hull.

I found that if I tried to add the upper hull parts to the lower hull it wasn't rigid enough and was very fiddly to get the parts in place.
