I've got a YF22 kit and normally I'd have no problem putting a kit together with no instructions, but this kit has some odd pieces I can't fathom.

I'm unsure of the manufacturer it's 1/72 scale.
if anyone has a copy they would be kind enough to scan/photograph and put up or email me a copy I'd be most grateful.
too old for a paper round, too young for me pensions, dammit, back to work then!

There's four 1/72 YF-22 kits out there  ---  :unsure:

Cheers Thorvic, would seem to be the correct one.
I had no idea, as I got it just in a bag, no decals and no indication who made it.

A&AEE YF22 here we go. ;D

Yeap Airfix, Dragon, Italeri, Zhengdefu with the Italeri being a boxing of the Dragon kit and the Zhengdefu being a poor rip off copy of the DML kit.

I had a feeling it might have been Airfix as there were a number cheaply available from broken up editions of the Anniversary of Flight boxed set, when they cleared out the Humbrol warehouse in Hull before Airfix folded.

Sounds good, look forward to seeing it done

There's a chance instructions for something might be floating around the internet. I got an HMS Iron Duke on ebay which came without them but tracked some via googling. Also those for Flower-Class Corvette went missing - lots of biddy-bits - and found them the other day, some thoughtful person having uploaded them ( .... thanks!)

A good source is http://www.model-making.eu/

They post sprue pics as well as the complete instructions and the decal sheet - chances are good to find what you need there, esp. when it is a current kit.
