I managed to lose all of the boxes to my various and sundry SkyWave "Equipment for Modern Ships" weapon sets over the years, and I spend a good chunk of time looking at the stuff and going "What is that again?"  Does anyone either have the boxes (I think the backs had the full list of stuff) or know of any links to something that will tell me what's what?

Thanks in advance.

I will see if I still have the instruction sets. Which specific sets do you have for which you need instructions?

In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

The one that has me the most befuddled is 4; the Royal Navy set.  It's the directors that are driving me bonkers.  :)
