Poor instructions
Terrible instructions! Clearly been translated, but not very well. Very few picture references, to assist identification of parts. Naming of parts(if named), only helpful if you're a master ship-wright. Some key steps or info missed out completely, other steps appear to be in wrong order, so you have to plan the order of work/write your on instructions. However the 1:1 drawings did assist a little with the interpretation of the instructions.
