Unhappy newbie needing some help

G'day everyone!

I've been viewing your site lately as ive just purchased some models from japan. They're replicas of my my own car, and i hope to make them as close to mine (the real life one) as possible!

At the moment ive just been 'practising up' and building some models that ive purchased previously. While they're nowhere near your standards i still try and aim to get them looking pretty good!

Currently i've completed a RX7 Efini, red in colour which looks reasonable! Ive also completed a Ford sierra which didnt turn out so great.. But alas, practice makes perfect i guess.

I've run into a spot of bother though.. I recently just purchased a Lancer Evo 7 Kit by Tamiya. Its the WRC Model and ive been enjoying building it up. Though in my haste/un-carefullness i've spilt paint over the instructions!

Its basically made it a hell of a lot more difficult to put together and i dont want to start guessing and going all over the place. Guys do you know where i can find a copy of the instructions? I've looked on google etc but i cant seem to find anything that relates to what im searching for.

Does anyone know what i can do? Or can anyone help me with this?

Thanks a lot! And keep up the good work on this forum

Call Tamiya And Have Them Send You Another Set Of Instructions, The # Is On The Back Of The Instructions If You Can Read That Part.

Your in luck!

Hobby-Search posts instructions for many current kits on their site.
Here's the link (I hope it works):

In this case, this isn't necessary. Go to HobbySearch here and click on your model... they have your instructions scanned in. Just print what you need, and away you go!

Hey! It's not a race...

This is one of the things I like a lot about Hobby-Search. It is just so handy to be able to look inside the box.
I don't know why Tamiya doesn't put instructions on their site...
PDF files don't take up much space???
