Here are the original first version instructions just for reference. Had to upload as separate pages; the full pdf was over 2mb.

Well, I guess the balance of the critical scans wouldn't hurt either.

Some of the ones I have just need sanding and repainting. That doesn’t really take any longer than building from scratch. For me, who started with Centuri kits in 1971, it allows me to build things I missed or just messed up as a kid. To each his own.

I bet it also makes you feel good to see that you were a better craftsman even as a little kid than some of the builders of these rocket rescues. Some of those fillets and fin angles are hideous!
