ESCI 1:9 BMW R75 w/Sidecar #7001

[Johnny Doogong]

Hello all, I've recently nabbed my self this ancient beauty off ebay for a bargain.  But there's no instructions with it.  Has anyone out there got the instructions that I could borrow or buy?

 

Cheers

Can't help you with the instruction buddy but I know which kit you are talking about. It's a really nice kit considering it's age. So, I hope someone can help you out

[Johnny Doogong]

Cheers Young Tiger, I hope so.  I can probably work out a lot of the main frame myself, but the fine detail I would need the instructions really.  I've tried Revell (they bought the rights to the Esci kit) but they haven't manufactured it for years and cant help.  I've searched the internet with no success either.  SO hopefully someone on here, may have a copy that they could scan and email me....

Let me post this on my FB Group and see if we can come up with a set. I have several older members with large staches that may have something.

Hi Everyone.
There is a member on LSM that recently bought a ESCI 1:9 BMW R75 w/Sidecar #7001 off ebay for a bargain however there's no instructions with it.
I suggested to him that we had a few members of our group with older staches that may have instructions that he could get a copy from.
He's done on line searches etc with no luck plus he contacted Revell (they bought the rights to the Esci kit) but they haven't manufactured it for years and couldn't help.
Having this problem with my recent Revell A-1A build I know how frustrating an instruction hunt can be! Can anyone help??
Ralph.

 

One of our members Harry living in Greece suggested that you might contact Italeri as they bought some of ESCI molds?

Hi Ralph,

 

Thanklyou for your efforts, I didnt know that Italeri also bought some of Esci's molds.  I'll ping an email to them later today.  I've also put my problem up on some facebook groups I'm a member of, got some possible leads, but nothing concrete yet unfortunately.  I have managed to find some online builds, with tantalising glimpses of the assembly instructions underneath the 'in progress' model.  For the moment, at least I can make a start on the bloody thing....May even do a build log :-)

[RalphSarc]

No problem! Hopefully something will be fruitful! I went through this same thing trying to find instructions for a vintage Revell 1/40 A-1A Skyraider that I bought on eBay without instructions!! Luckily I finally found a set.

Johnny, have you managed to get a copy of the instructions for the BMW with sidecar kit? If not, I can help. I have the kit as well.

It's a long weirdly sized double-sided page and I messed up some of the ordering of the

sections but it's all there.
