Title: Italeri Model kit #5602 1/35 ELCO 80' PT-596 TORPEDO BOAT --Needing instructions
Post by: Deckape on October 08, 2016, 09:16:49 pm
 Hello, I'm new to the forum,
I have been “volunteered” to build the model for a WWII PT Boat crewman,
His wife bought the kit, (from unknown source) but I've received no instructions with the kit.
If any of you members can provide a legible copy via E-mail, it would be greatly appreciated.
I can probably use cell phone photographs of the instructions if anyone might be able to provide them.
I don't need the picture book, just the instructions to build it from.

Here is the information I have on the kit: Italeri Model kit #5602 1/35 ELCO 80' PT-596 TORPEDO BOAT w/Picture Book (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=301801154303)

Thanks in advance for any help CONTACT: Via PM please

Have you tried contacting the maker.(Italeri)

Never know they may be able to supply what you need.

Alternatively the distributor for your location.

my scanner is a one page at a time, so bare with me, does Stan still have his he built the Elco? and Italeri are good at responding to queries, also I've found a few errors in the instructions which you have to kind search out, parts miss numbered, but all in all a nice kits, haven't done my rc install yet, took me all summer to do 4 torpado tubes, 25 parts each...enjoy.

ATTENTION ALL: I've received a copy of the instructions!   :-)) Thanks to all who offered to help. I appreciate the fine and quick responses which were offered to a total stranger and new person on this forum.  %% When I finish the project, I will try to share some pictures. The wife was wanting it for Christmas,,, :kiss:   Hope she's not picky about which year  <*<

Hello from San Francisco.  I was searching the internet for instructions to this kit and saw something had helped a member out by providing the instructions. My circumstances are eerily similar to the original post. Can someone provide me with a copy of these instructions?
