It is a pity that sometimes the only sites that preserve models that would otherwise be lost are the pirate sites. At least in this case the ship models were posted on a individual's web site, so that they could be preserved by the Internet Archive.
These are actually very nice water line models, and a couple of them are on my never to be completed , every growing to build list. The fact they have only part numbers, no instructions, makes them a bit of a puzzle.
I explored the site in the original post and found these links:
