Rolfg Posted May 20, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 20, 2020 Hi I am a new member that would like to share some photos of an vintage kit I recently purchased. It is a mid ship cross-section of the Swedish warship Vasa, by the company Igra from the Czech republic. It is 1:60 scale. Time has bleached the paper flags and the decals are probably unusable. The original plywood sheets are warped and are not laser cut, old school here. I plan to use real wood in place of the plywood sheets, which are great to have as a reference. I like this model because of the large scale which should help my inexperienced fingers. By being a cross-section I can avoid planking the bow and stern which I have failed to succeed with on a previous attempt. Unfortunately the original Czech instructions with images are missing, so if anyone has a copy to share I would appreciate to hear from you. Cheers. catopower, VTHokiEE, ccoyle and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartacus2000 Posted May 8, 2022 Share #3 Posted May 8, 2022 I took a look at the material in your possession and you should have everything, the instructions in Czech only have 6 figures at the end of the manual if they are the ones you are missing I can make you a copy mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikiek Posted May 9, 2022 Share #4 Posted May 9, 2022 Very nice cross section. I love those builds. I realize the OP was quite a while back but I would be interested in hearing your progress on this one. Maybe by now you are done. Post some pics. mtaylor 1 Quote Sail on...... Mike "Dropped a part?

mtaylor Posted May 9, 2022 Share #5 Posted May 9, 2022 I'm not sure you'll get an answer back as Rolfg was last on last July. I do hope he sees it or gets a notification of your posts and can return.
