Billing boats model #403 Hjejlen

Hello to all, I have just been given a mouse-eaten partial kit of the Billing paddle wheeler Hjejlen. It has a large one page construction plan and a small 1 page build description.

I believe there was included in the original kit a multipage instruction manual.Does anyone have one that I could get a copy of? Billing boats website no longer has any info on this kit. Thanks

That kit might be older than internet :-) making it hard to find the instructions. My best tip is to write Billing Boats and ask them to look around in therr archive. Even if its not even digital, it should be fast work to copy and scan :-)

Or hope that someone on MSW has them stowed away somwhere.

I also have written instruction for Hjejlen (the old VHT kit). It is 5 typewritten pages in Danish but I can translate it is necessary. Just say the word.
