Engel's Akuka II build instructions

[Pattern8]

Does anyone have a digital copy of the instructions Engels sends with these subs. Wanting to really give it some time going over before to make sure I could accomplish before placing an order. Thank you.

The Engel's Akula II instructions are very clear and easy to follow as long as you rear ahead and dry fit every step.
The instruction are not a couple of sheet but a small book.

I can not help with a digital instruction book but. . .
when i built my Akula II, I made a build log that I posted to every day I did something, including photos when I remembers to take my camera out to the shop.
I even posted the mistakes I made and had to back up to correct them.

Thank you so much Antoine. May I ask what tools you used when building this?

You're welcome.
The basic modeler tools :
Screwdrivers, Dremel, files, knife/cutter, sandpapers, pliers, etc...nothing fancy.

I'd highly recommend you to order the Akula set, you'll get everything to finish it except the tools described few lines above.

The kit looks great but going over the instructions has doused my confidence. Having only experience assembling static models, this kit looks to be beyond my current skill set.
