Leo Cherkashyn's Proton-M 1:96

Leo has updated his Proton-M design and will release it soon on his web site. I built the new version and I think it's a little easier than the old version - especially the fairing and Breeze-M modules. Fortunately, today was a good day to take an outside photo. I would have taken more, but there was a little breeze (very appropriate considering the model) and it kept knocking it over! I was lucky it didn't get wrecked in the process. :o

Hi Araize. All threads you have visited are all builds of a different Proton model than the one you have bought. This is Leo Cherkashyn's free available model and has its own instructions (with schemes and pictures, almost no text.)
For a translation of your Polish model I guess you just have to use Google Translate, like Michael already told in his own thread.
Although the sentences might be a bit wobbly, it does give you some good indications of how the model should be built. It just costs a little more effort to get it all translated.

Apart from that, starting out in paper modeling with a model like the Proton is kind of hard for a beginner. Especially when the instructions are only in Polish.
Why don't you just leave that model for a while and start with some easier stuff before you tackle the bought model? Remember, the one you bought hasn't got the possibility to reprint a page when you mess things up a bit.

You could for example start with Ton's easier Gemini model that is available for free on this page of Jon Leslie's site. (about halfway down - the top link next to the photo is all right to start with, you can also download the updated version too and replace the original parts with the improved ones.)
Another good place to start with model rockets could be Erik Te Groen's website. He has lots of Delta's and other models to build.
Try your skills on those models first before you tackle the single-chance bought model.
Have fun and please show your results. Start your own thread and if you have questions, just ask.
Cheers!
