| The instructions are 3 pages of well
detailed drawings and assembly guides. They show how the photo etch is
folded and indicate that some plastic should be used to help produce solid
vehicles. I would have liked to see some dimensions or a template for these
items. But it shouldn't be too hard to figure out if you just measure the
photo etch. |
