I just got Blackdog's resin set for trumpeter's LAV-A2 from ebay today

Is it normal for Blackdog not to include a instruction sheet?

I have built two conversions from them and both had instructions sheets.

Maybe accessories sets don't include instructions ? I have their Bundeswehr accessories set T35055 and there is not any instruction sheet.

You can see several views on Blackdog website with all the parts on the model, who can help for their location.

I have several sets from the Black dog. There are no instructions in any of them. for example, the kits for LAV-25a2, WINT for Stryker and M-ATV did not contain instructions.

I have the LAV-25A2 accessory set that you mentioned its going to be interesting adding it to my Trumpeter LAV-A2 and google images is a useless reference tool

Make sure the accessories go with the kit you plan on using it with. I have their stowage kit for the Cromwell. No instructions so I asked for help identifying what the accessories were and their color as it turned out most of the accessories were from a different time period and not really for the Cromwell.

I purchased a set from them for the Tamiya 1/48 2 1/2 ton truck. No instructions. They forgot the quality too.

Now that I think of it maybe thats why they add all those ruck sacks so not to have to add instructions 1 wonder if their full kits have

I have one Black Dog stowage set. It has no instructions, but the photos on the box show you pretty much where everything goes.

I am doing the M109 interior and it has 4 pages of location photographs. Semi useful, but for some parts not helpful at all. The builder has to figure it out.
