Doc,

What one person thinks are crummy instructions another may think are fine. I agree with you on looking at everything you can. EVERYTHING!!! I do feel that the most important part of the instructions are plans. Plans show so much detail and show how the boat is built. If you were building a ship from The Scale Shipyard for example, you would only have plans. But with a company like Dumas... well... they could do so much better. Why was it when I showed "step by step" how to build the USS Crockett they supported my idea and let me use what ever printed data I needed from them? I didn't make any money... that's not why the let me, they knew their instructions where in dire need of some help. The Mister Darby kit instructions are the same way. I welcome you to look at what I did for the USS Crockett and let me know what you think.
