Over the years, we've had a number of requests to email copies of our instruction sheets to replace lost or misplaced copies ... or by those who simply want to "preview" a kit before purchasing. As time allows, we'll add on-line copies here so you can download and print ... or simply open and have a look. I've written a number of articles for the hobby magazines over the years, and I think you'll find that the BVM instructions are a lot like a good construction article ... and nothing like those confusing "exploded diagram" instructions that come with discount store items ... or techno-whiz instructions that come with digital cameras and computer! -- Dallas
- It'll take a while to convert everything to pdf format and upload. Meanwhile, here's a few to get started ... and you're welcome to email any special requests. Speaking of which, if you want to special order individual parts from a certain kit for your building or bashing projects, take a look at the "Parts Listing" for that kit. Use the kit number and part number (or letter) to let me know what you need!
- Files are in "pdf" format, which will open with Adobe Reader. You can left-click to open and have a look, or right-click to save to your computer and print later.
