RiverRat Posted June 18, 2013 Share #1 Posted June 18, 2013 My wife often roams antique shops, saw this old kit for $30, and brought it home! Who knows if I'll live long enough to play with it. Only significant part missing is the short ply aft deck, which I think I can reproduce from the copies from the plans. The plans. The original sheet for the rigging is there, but there are only copies ( and incomplete, at that ) of the other sheet. Here's a photo of the copies placed in position. Question: Are the missing sections worth having to complete the build? The instruction booklet is intact. Thanks! Brian Quote "Give you joy!"

SKID Posted June 25, 2013 Share #2 Posted June 25, 2013 Brian, I have plans for the AL Swift. They show they were printed in 1993. I would say based on what you have in the picture you may not have everything needed. There is an assembly guide with pictures, then there is the parts list, and then a sheet for the rigging and sails. Seems like you are missing allot of that.

RiverRat Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted June 25, 2013 Hi Kevin. If you have a guide with pictures from 1993, sounds like it may be the newer version. Mine has 1982 on the box and the parts list includes no illustrated guide. Quote "Give you joy!" Current Build: RATTLESNAKE 1:64 POB (Mamoli) Kits on hand: "Lexington", Mamoli: "Robert E.
