Hallo @Bill H
we wish you all the BEST and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Birthday-Cake
 
Hello Bill... just a small suggestion. Adding asking price and pictures of all your items would help tremendously at moving them out of your hand. I wish you very good luck.

Bill, I am very new to ship building. In fact, this is my first ship I have ever built. I purchased a Revell USS Constitution model 85-0398 from eBay the box was still in the original clear wrapping so I know it was never opened and other than a slight crushing on the corner the box was in good shape, also there was no sign of water damage. Ok so here is my problem and question. All of the instructions have deteriorated so badly that they are almost worthless. Do you know where I can find copies of the instructions Running riggings, Standing riggings, and Assembly instructions so I can build this model?
