No instructions... help!

Post by WillShepp »

Hi fellow fabricators. I found an Airfix Tornado GR1 (1:72) kit. It looks pretty old, and I want to make it but I have no instructions. Can anyone help?

You could also look at the scalemates website to see if they have instructions for that kit.

Thanks fredk and wokka.. very helpful, I've now got a PDF version which I can print out. I made this Tornado when I was young so it's nice to revisit the model. I'm hoping my son can be torn away from his electronic interests, and join me with hands-on making fun!

Another good one I've used several times:

Search the kit at the top - Most kits they show sprue shots and photos/scans of decals and instructions.
