If you'd like to see samples, look at Hobby Search (http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/plamo/); they post scans of instructions for many of the kits they sell...

HTH :wave:

fujimi kits come with a combination of english/japanese instructions, but i agree with him about the pictures.

The instruction manual of my Fujimi Honda Integra R is quite vague. Some parts they don't even tell you what colour to use. Then all the box sides use the same photo as the box top. While the Tamiya ones will always have front, back, top and side illustrations on the side of the boxes to assist you as a painting reference. And the manual don't shade the illustrated parts so sometimes I don't know the boundaries of a particular colour...just have to use common sense and intelligent guesses. After a thorough observation there is one conclusion: they are not as passionate about each of their products as Tamiya does.

Why dont you just paint it the color you want? Or is the color you want the one they show you? Well I have finished a Honda Integra Type R and i agree that you do have to use some common sense.
