As per the title really.
What company produce the clearest and easiest to follow instructions on their complete kit?
And is there a stand out contender for the worst supplied instructions?

It depends on what medium, are you talking plastic or wood, static display or R/C, and what type of model....presumably Ship as you have asked this in the ship topic, if ship, then what type of Ship?

Try collecting the entire series of the Deagostini Victory before starting! that would then come with wonderful comprehensive instructions!!
Seriously though, I have had a good experience with the Amati Elizabethan Galleon, other builders on different forums tend to mention Amati quite frequently and Victory models. Mantua and Artesani Latina dont seem to fair well in recommendations neither do Billingsboats.
Of course this is only my point of veiw in the end it will be your decision.

caldercraft/jotika provide great instructions, especially for rigging, each rope is dealt with individually, telling you exactly where to run the various rigging lines. Come on you Jimmies

I'd also vote for caldercraft. If you visit their website you can downlaod them & see how complete they are.
