Vintage Vasa cross-section from Igra

[Rolfg]

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.

Never seen that one before.

Looks a nice model.

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

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.

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.
