Jaguar XKE 1/8 scale by Aurora Products - Looking for Assembly Instructions

[tatomartinez]

Looking for assembly instructions for the Jaguar XKE 1/8 scale plastic model made by Aurora Products (1972). I got the partially assembled model kit years ago and it didn't come with instructions. Appreciate any assistance out there!

Heh - good luck !
You'll need to continuously search Ebay , Lots-of-Models , etc etc .
Get ready for some sticker shock , even if you can find only the instructions for sale .

You could email these guys and ask for help : [email protected]

Or try Scalemates, too, and see if anyone has uploaded the instructions there.

Your recommendation to check out Scalemates proved fruitful! I was able to download the instructions that I needed.
Thank you very much for your help!

Thanks for your recommendations. I was not able to get the instructions I needed, but I got to check out Rocketfin which I didn't know of.
Anyway, the Baron replied to this thread and he recommended Scalemates - and I was able to download the instructions I needed. If you have not heard of this database, it's definitely worth the visit.
Enjoy!

Heh - I recommend it all the time .
Surprised I didn't this time , but didn't add it since Baron did .
Glad you got what you needed . Only a minority of kits there are accompanied by instructions .

Another FYI ,This vendor often has the instructions , sprue shots , decal images for kits that they sell
