Johnny Doogong Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 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 Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngtiger1 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Doogong Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalphSarc Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalphSarc Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Okay posted this to the Facebook Group: 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?

Johnny Doogong Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 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 :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalphSarc Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 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.

Wolf Buddee Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 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. Cheers, Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffH Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I put a scan up at http://www.jgherrick.com/public/ESCI_BMWR75_Instructions.PDF 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.
