HMS Bounty 1:50 - Constructo

[arva1]

I have been working on the HMS Bounty for awhile now. I recently moved and have lost the multi color instructions and parts listing. Can anyone help me with obtaining a copy of these. Constructo has gone out of business and their website is no longer active. Thanks

Jo

Hallo again,
I hope somebody here in our forum has this kit build already and does not need the manual any more, or can make a scan or photos of the instructions.

Not sure if it will really help you, found this on YouTube:

Thanks. Will take a look at it. I was able to get a set of plans from another member. So all is good. Now the hard part starts with me getting back to work on it.

Thanks again

While you are doing your building, you may want to download the contemporary plans from the RMG website to compare to what the kit suggests, including her launch plans. I don't know about the Constructo kit, but of interest to some folks, some kits include a jolly boat that Bligh supposedly used on his famous voyage. Unfortunately, the jolly boat on the Bounty was rotted through and he and his men used the launch.

Hi, I'm looking for the photo instructions for Constructo 1:50 HMS Bounty. If that is what you have I'd really appreciate a copy of them.

Dankjewel. Ik zal er zelfs naar kijken. Ik heb via een ander lid een set tekeningen kunnen machtigen. Dus alles is in orde. Nu begint het lastige gedeelte: ik moet weer mee aan de slag.

Nogmaals bedankt.

"Beste medebouwer,
Ik ben nieuw hier op het forum. Ik ben onlangs ook begonnen aan de Constructo HMS Bounty 1:50, maar ik loop tegen precies hetzelfde probleem aan: bij mijn bootje zitten de bouwpapieren en de onderdelenlijst er helaas niet bij. maar vooral belangrijk de 5 bouwplannen. Zonder deze instructies loop ik nu al helemaal vast.
Ik las in dit onderwerp dat het gelukt is om een set bouwtekeningen te krachtig te maken. Zou iemand deze bestanden (of een kopie hiervan) misschien ook met mij willen delen? Je zou me er enorm mee helpen om dit project als nieuw lid tot een goed einde te brengen!
Alvast heel erg bedankt! Ruud

I was able to translate to English. My previous thread on this has the overall plans. I have added to this a jpeg photos of the 5 detailed plans. I zoomed in on the sail sheet and added a ruler showing the size. Let me know if this is helpful. Or you need a better solution. Good luck Joe

 

[Ruud_60]

Hartelijk bedankt – ik heb nu wat vooruitgang geboekt. Ik had gehoopt dat deze specifieke bouwtekeningen erbij zouden zitten (zie bijlage), maar ik ben zeker ook blij met deze, want die miste ik ook. Nogmaals bedankt. Met vriendelijke groet, Ruud.

Great, Glad I could help. Here is the hull portion breakdown. Were you able to download my attachments from feb 11 2025. Those were the complete booklet type instructions. I finished my kit about a year ago.

Joe

 

[Ruud_60]

I am very happy with this.I was able to download everything

I’m currently working on Occre’s *La Candelaria*, and after that, I hope to start on the *Bounty* — hoping I don’t miss too many parts, though most can be made from scratch, and that’s where the challenge lies


Thanks a lot again.


Regards, Ruud.

Great. Good Luck. Joe
