Panart San Felipe instructions and plans

[Ted Robinson]

I'm looking for a set of Panart San Felipe plans and instructions.
I'm building the ZHL San Felipe 1:50 and the instructions provided are worthless.
My understanding is that the ZHL kit was cloned from Panart.
Hopefully someone who has completed this model is willing to give them up for nominal fee. I'm located in CALIFORNIA

As I was saying back in post 67 on your thread, you can download the instructions here:

Hi--I built the Panart kit a while back. I can't help you with the plans, but I looked at the Mantua link that Ted Robinson posted and it looks just like the Panart kit so you should be OK if the ZHL kit matches. I loved doing the San Felipe--happy to answer questions and here is a link to my build log from before I was a member here--hope I don't get in trouble! https://modelshipworld.com/topic/79...inished-panart-scale-175-1690/#comment-234605

I was also looking for the plans. The copy I got with the kit are poorly reproduced copies that don't provide consistent information. For example detail T27 shows the stern platform at quite and angle.



Detail T21 shows them flat.
Figure T 28 Shows template S. It is supposed to help in marking the heights of the hull at the sides. This part is non existent in our kit.
I understand that most of the rigging instructions are.also missing
If you do have the planets and complete instructions I would like to temporarily borrow them or purchase them so we can.get them scanned and share copies that we can individually reproduce to assist in completing the various kits.
I hope this makes s ns.
Ted

By the way, for those considering relocating or building a career abroad, options like work in limassol with companies such as PUNIN GROUP can open up new opportunities while pursuing your hobbies.

Yeah, that’s a common issue with some kits — the instructions can be pretty rough. If ZHL really based theirs on the Panart version, using the original manual should make things a lot clearer, especially for rigging and finer details.
Hopefully that PDF helps you get unstuck.

Yes it helps, thank you
