Herky,

Asking if anyone has a kit to sell is fine. Asking someone to send a scanned kit via email, is not.
This will be the only warning you recieve about this. Scanned files of hard copy kits is piracy,
and is not tolerated here on this forum. It does result in disciplinary actions.

Does it ever occur to anyone that they might not know better? I mean, it seems self evident, and really it should be, but in this day and age when everything is free, people probably just don't make the connection. Maybe a little bit of gentleness is in order.

Agree 100%...maybe PM needs a very brief terms and conditions that must be signed off on as part of requesting membership...

Unfortunately unable to help with a card Canberra but would love to see your build if you find one...

whoops!!!

certainly didnt intend to cross anylines here.i assumed that if anyone had the kit they had purchased at some time in their scanner i would have been prepared to pay for a copy of it.as the kit has been out of print for years now that was unlikely anyways.lesson learnt.
p.s. have the oriana kit and having served on both ships i can state they are nowhere near close to each other in shape but thanks for the suggestion anyways

Okay,

When he does not want to ship outside Europe, contact me, there might be something arranged, if you wish such, I could buy it (tell me the maximum bid I should make, to be added postage from Germany to Netherlands (parcel as book EUR 3,45), than I will ship this to you, this means extra shipping costs, which are 0-2 kg EUR 17,10 normal postage (TNT), with track & trace EUR 24,30 (TNT),
100 EUR = 157,30 Kiwi dollar

Gert
