chockblock Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Hello folks.......new here and glad to have found you. Cleaning out a closet I found the Bo 105 kit open and started from many years ago, and now I know why it was not finished ....pages 3 & four and nine and 10 are missing from the instructions.......their print date was 1998......I wrote to Revell, they of course said the model had been discontinued and there were no surviving instruction sheets. So I thought I'd check with you folks......see if somewhere there were some long forgotten stashed somewhere. appreciate any suggestions you can offer james Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chockblock Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Av8.....that'll do it....the kit # is actually 04442....the instructions you sent are very useable, and in fact offers options to build either the PAH(anti-tank version) or the VBH, (surveillance version). There are some very good sites to research www.panzer-modell, and primeportal.net. the latter has 63 walk around views. thanks a ton!!!, I'll go back to painting the cabin inside....

Dadeo911 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Care to share what you have done so far? Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chockblock Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 well Chris, as I mentioned, I just a few days age looked into the box and found that I had started to paint the cabin and didn't get very far, then I noticed the missing pages and that's about where Im at now.....The instructions sent to me above look promising, and I think I can ad-lib the rest....but reall have nothing done. I have a Heller ship model Im going to start and figured Id work on the Bokow whenever I got stuck with problem with the ship. Ill send along some pics as I now get into this project. thanks james Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeejeeZ Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) Hi James, Welcome to the forum! What I was missing from your post, is the scale! The instructions as quoted by av8fan are from a 1:48 kit, while Revell also released a 1:32 kit of the Bo-105. Instructions just in case (from the Revell site): http://www.revell.de/fileadmin/import/images/bau/04906_%23BAU_BO_105_35TH_ANNIVERSARY_OF_ROTH.PDF Good luck! Gertjan Edit: from rereading our post I see that Revell couldn't supply the instructions so I guess you have the 1:48- kit. Sorry for the fuzz!

chockblock Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Geejeez and av8fan........Im shaking my head now......it is indeed 1:32 and Geejeez, the set you sent along I could not find on the revel site, which is why I sent them an email, at any rate that set is even clearer, more precise and closer to what Ive got.....some exceptions apply: 1) the decal sheet is a bit different for things like the instrument panel 2) the set included placing a 5g counter weight into the cockpit area, <that is missing, perhaps on one of the absent pages> 3) the sequence is a bit off, my #9 is Geejeez's #12. Also drilling out holes in the airframe do now match exactly............I knew I came to the right place! thanks a lot fella's james Quote Link to post Share on other sites
