I just finished translating the instructions, using an online Polish keyboard by Typeit plus Google Translate. I have tried using a translator that simply photographs and translates text, but it doesn’t deal well with hyphenated words, so I went with the more tedious method. I present the translation here as a public service to anyone else who may want to build this kit. There’s an unnecessary period after each occurrence of the word “part” because the original Polish was “cz.” I like the way the instructions say “we” do each step, as though the writer is sitting beside the builder in spirit, encouraging them.
