Hello All,
I was recently gifted this huge and wonderful kit but alas it does not come with instructions. I have tried contacting Trumpeter, without success, so can anyone help please with an unwanted set ??
thanks!

Just did a quick Google search and found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVFk44A6cG4&t=439s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVFk44A6cG4&t=439s)
Might be of some help?

This site has a very detailed build report and he includes some the instructions:

maybe not the best quality, but these would seem to be usable:

I'm on and off working on the same kit, so if you need any specific details from the instructions let me know and I'll have a look. I'd love to help you by scanning mine but I just can't find the time and I like to actually do what I promise...
[edit] I can also recommend AOA decals, they are so much better than the misspelled and fuzzy kit decals!

Thanks ! Instructions should be quite usable. I've built a few Trumpeter kits and they can be challenging and the modern ordnance even more so! I find they are basically good kits that can be finished well...it's all good fun. isn't it?!

Sure is a a nice kit, that can either be built from the box, or with some help of scratchbuilding and/or aftermarket parts and decals, and still look good. Enjoy your build -I'm currently building a 1:1 garden project, so mine is kind of stalled... :)
The Mk82s are the standard Trumpeter fare and not as good as the rest, though.. I had to sand and fill a lot to get the Snake-eyes to look decent!
