Kit Instructions

[Russ]

In my opinion a kit is only as good as the included instructions. I have only completed three kits and working on the 4th.
In order of best to least.
1. Model Shipways
2. Penart
3. Artesania Latiina (not real happly about CD instructions. Atleast there understandable)
4. Billing Boats (I'll have to go to an outside source to finish my current build).
How would you rate your kit built ships instructions?

Haven’t built many kits yet, but my order would be:
1. Model Shipways (designed by Chuck Passaro, not familiar with the other ones)
2. Occre
3. Panart (not yet built but from the instructions it seems OK)
99. Billings Boats (almost impossible to build solely from the instructions, previous build logs make all the difference)

Nowadays thanks to the Internet forums and YouTube, kits can be built without having to solely rely on the manufacture’s instructions although it is their responsibility to provide clear and complete assembly instructions so not to frustrate their customers.
