uncleb Posted April 29, 2013 #1 Posted April 29, 2013 hopefully someone can help. I purchased this kit at a great price and found out why when it came. There are no plans or instructions! does anyone here have access to them? I contacted several merchants with no response.

uncleb Posted April 30, 2013 Author #2 Posted April 30, 2013 its artesania latina 19006, and of course they are gone. kinda hoping someone here has built it and still has the prints. i've been building the hull using the box as a reference, but there are no pictures of the interior.

trippwj Posted May 1, 2013 #3 Posted May 1, 2013 Uncleb - I have done a little searching without any results yet. Will be turning my 2 internet sleuths loose and see what they can turn up for you.

uncleb Posted May 1, 2013 Author #4 Posted May 1, 2013 thanks tripp. I was able to find tons of box photos and even a few pics of the actual boat, but nothing useful constructionwise.

xam31 Posted June 1, 2013 #8 Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) hi,I am French and I have the same kit. I have instructions in French as well as half of the manual in the form of photos. I can scan them and send them to you by personal message (email) if you want. I search the first sheet construction to start as I am not a specialist model.Regards, Didier Edited June 1, 2013 by xam31 Quote
xam31 Posted June 1, 2013 #9 Posted June 1, 2013 hi,I found a French forum on all aspects of the boat, if you're interested, send me your email, I'll pass you.friendly, Didier Quote
