The way I go about this is to print the Peeron inventory for the set. Then I
match what is in my set. I use the actual set. I then build the model, and any
variations. I note the differences on the printed inventory page. Almost all
my sets since 1974 were bought by me and maintained by me. I have opened
several MISB sets to help complete these inventories. I am in agreement with
you about sets working better than instructions. What I see in Peeron is that
most of the sets were inventoried from the instuctions. some of the pictures
are very misleading in the instructions and most of the time I see how the
errors were made. One thing that I do not understand is how these were then
verified with lots of mistakes. Someone said in one of my previous posts that
Peeron could use a fact checker and that is what I am doing. They just do not
seem to post the corrections.
But yes it is so much better to use the set and that is what I am doing.
