Last night I was going through my Hobbycraft/Trumpeter Challenger II instructions and the instructions on the Lionroar photo-etch set making notes and realized my instructions for the Hobbycraft kit are defective. I am missing page 5 which should have steps 5, 6, and 7 of the construction (my instructions has a duplicate of page 3, steps 1 and 2). Can anyone help me out with a copy of that missing page?

This is probably in the missing steps, but can someone who has built the kit, tell me where part C16 (spare tracks) is located on the model?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I emailed hobbycraft and they sent me a .pdf file of the missing page

the two spare tracks are located on the rear hull just above the towing pintle

Thanks for the prompt responses AJ and Tom. I have sent an email to Hobbycraft. In the meantime, AJ, I don't suppose you still have that .pdf file handy do you? If so, could you email it to me?

Just an update. Hobbycraft responded the same day to my email and they are mailing out the missing page of instructions.

Tom: As a I have the Tamiya Challenger II kit for an OIF version, I am going to use this version to build a Challenger II in training in Europe that does not have the side skirts. It is based on a picture in the Concord volume on Challengers as well as a model I saw displayed on Missing Links. It is very interesting: lots of camo. nets as well as sod/grass on the tank!
