Instructions for 3551
« on: December 30, 2010, 01:19:01 »
Hi all! I need desperatly instructions for this set.
http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3551

I got this set today.... no box. I think it is Antex for the quality of the clickies. HORRIBLE!
The instructions are very bad and are incomplete. Anybodoy who has them can send them to me please? PM me. Thanx.

Or else...can someone post some detail pics of all four sides and from above? I could manage with that too. Thanx a lot!!!  :)

i've been reading a couple of threads form long ago and I can confirm that my 3551 is Antex.  :'(
The hull is painted and it is painted very poorly.... should I customize it?...

ouch. I'm always afraid I'll fall victim to that on ebay. I hope you didn't pay an arm and a leg for it.  :(

I bought it from the argentine ebay so it wasn't that bad...in fact just to compare...only 15 dolars more than the submarine. Not bad for this set.

That seems like a lot to me! But anyway you wont feel bad drilling holes in it or painting it up if you decide to customize it. Sometimes I almost feel guilty altering a very old piece that is in good condition.

Afraid I can't help at all. I've never even seen this set before.  :-[

I should have these instructions in my Playmoshed in the box. I'll look & let you know tomorrow. Is there something you need to know about it, is yours new or used?
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

Thank you Bill. What is driving me crazy is the strings situation, the way to place them seems very complicated in the pics I could find, and there's nothing about that in the instructions I had with the set. The set was without box but sealed in original bags. I basically put it together, Im just not sure about some things.... and the freaking strings. I have three diferent colors.OH! and the anchor.... there is nothing to hold it still hunging out of the hull.... it keeps falling to the bottom of the sea  :-[
