There is a specific information that it's a "Simplified version of the model - without realistic textures".

There is yet another Kon Tiki model, by Swiatz Kartonu, No. 30. The designer is Marek Dworaczek, the scale is 1:25, and English instructions are included.

On the Wayback Machine it appears that the original version that SCEtoAUX posted is not available. From my guess, the author wanted to reduce the file size and made the simplified version. That is the only version available on all Wayback Machine snapshots.

Yep, looking at the original graphics and the simplified graphics does show quite a difference instead of what my fuzzy memory recalled.

Here is a comparison of some parts on page 3.

Original entire page 3 is 28497 KB, simplified entire page 3 is 145 KB.
Too bad the very large original files are no longer available from a legitimate source. It is much more fun downloading or transferring a 50.8 MB group of files rather than a 2.59 MB group of files.

I can remember reading the book on the voyage of the Kon-Tiki!
