Many times, old kits didn't have step-by-step instructions. You may have some hints or sketches in the plans to show a general building process, but most of your direction came from a study of the plans. On that kit, though, I'd not be sure. I build the .60-size VK Cherokee in 1972, and don't remember if there were actual instructions or just guides in the plans.
It was assumed by many kit makers, then, that if they supplied the parts and plans, you'd know enough to build the model. In those days, by the time you were getting into R/C, you usually had considerable building experience behind you, because R/C usually came after you'd spent some years building and flying free-flight and control-line models. R/C was VERY EXPENSIVE in those days, and you usually learned modeling on something considerably less expensive.
