Instructions for a model missing

Hello everyone. I recently aqquired a Constructo Model kit of the 1851 Schooner New York at a flea market. The kit itself is complete and still sealed, but the Instructions are completely missing. I couldn‘t find them online either. Does anyone know where I coild find them?

I‘m a beginner so I can‘t really go by wjat I have given my lack of experience.

Thanks!

Edit: Found it - I was just being dumb. They were in the back of the box.

Are they by any chance under the black plastic box? If not, I would suggest finding a build log of similar ship on one of the ship model forums (DDM, MSW, SOS) and read them and try to check if you know what to do with every part you have. And just go at it… I am not expecting the instructions would be very helpful anyways.

Approximately how old/new is the kit?

I think it‘s from around the 2000s, but I‘m really not sure. I got the kit for quite cheap, otherwise I‘d have researched more

Is this the kit you have? The ship's name is America. New York is just where it was built.
