Just found an ERTL Chebec ship kit that I bought about 50 years ago. All the pieces are in the box but the instructions have disappeared. Anyone know how to get a copy of the instructions?

I would suggest just buying the kit so that you will have the plans and also to have spare parts. I doubt very seriously that someone would have the plans to this, but it is possible.
Here is the link to ebay for that kit

You should be able to tinker it together without the instructions.
Alternatively, you may speak to the seller of the kit, and ask if he\she can sell you only a printed copy of the plans.

Saw the kits on EBay. Considered buying a second one but at about $200 US dollars it seemed like a lot to pay for instructions and spare parts. I think I originally paid $10 for it. Quite a markup. Have already contacted some of the sellers but have had no response yet. May just dry fit parts and go by the illustration on the box. Being a retired engineer should help.

you could take pictures of the content in the box and post them here. I am sure members can walk you through the build
I am not 100% sure, but I think, that the Ertl model was later on sold under IMAI - so you could also search withe this producer

I have that kit downstairs. I can photograph the instructions and Email it to you or I can copy it and mail to you.
