Most big and well-appreciated card model companies do not have step by step instructions anyway. Look at GPM, FlyModel and Hobby Model. And what would you rather have, four pages of written instructions in Polish or a couple of clear images to work with?
About fit: I did Gary's Super Guppy a couple of years back in 1/400 and it still fitted well.
Besides, Gary's models are shared with the community for free and he has made a lot of them to share with us. Some people, me, for example, do not have the money to pay for large commercial kits, nor the room to store big models. And I also like Gary's choice of subjects a lot. Perhaps you should try and build one of his models before any further criticism. You can use this thread as a reference when you aren't able to read Gary's quite obvious instruction manual.
Now I don't want this thread to become polemic, so let's now call this matter closed so I can finish my build here.

You have very carefully avoid mentioning Schreiber. They have NUMERIC SEQUENCE building. This system, uses no language and it is very easy to follow for any type of models. Step-by-step instructions are not needed nor extremely long written instructions which nobody reads. I agree with that. However, just a couple of drawings, especially with complex designs are definitively not enough. Other printers use the numeric sequence like WHM and GELI. And the polemic should continue, why not? It helps us all and it is one of the main issues in any forum.
