Airfix racing transporter: question!

[Taffy]

Hi there,
I need your help!

I have an old, but complete Airfix kit of the Ford racing transporter ("Ford Tractor & 40´Trailer", Kit Nr.16401-4), but unfortunately, I have no assembly instruction for that kit.

Is there anybody of you, who owns this kit, too, and who could mail me this instruction?

Kind regards,
Taffy

I have no idea, but if no one can help you here, perhaps join this forum and they might be able to shed some light:

Taffy,

I'm checking with some sources outside of the internet, as I am sure you have done a thorough search on the web.

I'll let you know if I find anything.

But I AM surprised that a modeler of your caliber actually need instructions!


Cheers

Thank you for your answers!

No, I didn´t know this Airfix-forum before! I will try that.

If you could use any contacts beside the WWW, Mark, that might be very helpful. And yes, sometimes I need instructions :-)

VBR, Taffy

Well, I learned a few things. However I'm not sure any of it will help you locate those missing instructions!

This kit was also sold by a company called Entex. Entex was a California based toy company that imported its plastic models from a variety of Japanese manufacturers. I believe that Entex went out of business before these kits were sold as Airfix models in the 1980s.

Here's a picture of a Ferrari Transporter kit under the Entex name:

Now, in the event that you want TWO of those trucks, all it would take is another Euro 199.99 ! (I'm assuming since the write up says the kit is factory sealed.. this one has a set of instructions!).

Try sending a message to Matt Biederman who frequents this site. I know he has a Ferrari kit and should be able to help you out

Thank you again!

@moose: I have send a PN to Matt an hope, he will read and answer it.

mark: yes, that´s the car I mean. My kit is an Airfix´one, but I have heard the name "Entex transporter" before.
My home track will be too small for two of these Dinosaurs, so I hope, I will get these papers without another set of plastic parts....:-)

Kind regards, Taffy

Taffy,

If it can help you, I have the Ferrari transporter. If you need a scan of the instructions, I can do it.
Just send me a message on [e-mail] and I'll do it.

Hello, Frederic,

thank you for this offer!

Today I´ve got mail from Matt with a pdf-file with the scanned instruction. I say thank you very much to Matt!

So my problem is solved. I love this internet!

Best regards, Taffy
