Tamiya M1 Abrams instructions needed.
Posted by bpanzer322 on Saturday, September 12, 2015 1:04 AM

I won this 1/35th scale kit a few years ago and decided to start building it. The only problem is is that all the writing is in japanese.  I was wondering is there any or does anyone have any english text instructions that they can email pics or pdf of.  Thanks in advance.

But for the most part it's still in Japanese......

There have been at least 4 iterations of the M1 series by Tamiya.

Are you wanting instructions for the original 80's prototype/early model, M1A1, M1A1 with mine plow or the revised M1A1/A2 kit?

Why do you need the writing?  All you need to do is follow the numbers and arrows.  The writing usually describes painting instruction that Tamiya usually gets the colors wrong on anyways.

It's more for the colors that I am going to need for the Yukon Jack version. I am tired of plain forrest camo and tired of a single color. When I saw the winter camo on the box it jumped out at me the most.  Also it is the early M1 with the 105.
