AndreyP Posted April 3, 2023 Share #1 Posted April 3, 2023 Dear colleague! I hope you will understand me and take my trouble with understanding! The thing is that I have the whole kit for assembling the model, but I lost the assembly instructions... CONSTRUCTOR is not exist and I can not ask for a copy. Help me please!!!! I would be very grateful if you could send me a scanned copy of the instructions (not pictures, just a text description) <email removed to prevent spam).

Jaager Posted April 4, 2023 Share #2 Posted April 4, 2023 There is at least one completed Constructo Mayflower build log here. The kit looks fairly basic. The molds spaced too far apart. If you cannot find the original instructions, it should not be all that much of a loss. They are probably not all that much help anyway. Buy a basic "How to Build a POB Ship Model" general instruction book. a copy of Mondfeld, and read the build logs here. The process is routine. Anything ship specific should be on the plans. The plans are far more important than any instructions. It looks like you would have to work at it to find worse species of wood than that supplied with your kit. If it splits, cracks, or breaks, it is likely not something that you are doing wrong.
