hI aLL,

This is my first post so forgive me if it's misplaced. I just bought a ARII 1/800 model of the USS Midway. It's missing the instructions and I'd sure like get a copy of those. Hoping someone could scan and email them to me. In return I can supply images of the Midway from the Vietnam era. I was on the thing. Took years to find a model, dissappointed to discover no instructions.

thanks,
George

Hi George,
I have the instructions, PM me you email address and i will get them to you.

Regards

John
