Other than sourcing a instruction sheet online or through Tamiya USA in English the best approach would be:

Study the diagrams carefully, test fit the parts several times to be sure correct fit.

Build in sub-assemblies like motor, front forks ect.

If you have built another bike the assembly probably will be similar, use that as a guide.

Have pictures of the real 1/1 bike as a reference, or better yet a mechanical diagram break down like a service manual.

Good luck, if still intimidated shelve the kit and build a few other bikes before tackling this one. Ask to see the instructions to be sure they have a English version.
