Carrera124 80 Posted September 2, 2022 Hello, I am looking for some building instructions, of some rather modern cars. Hi-res scans or PDF would be enough, I do not need the originals. I already checked Tamiya officical download ressources (Japan, USA, Germany). Even using the wayback machine. And I also checked other common Tamiya pdf download ressources. Result: nothing. So, here is the list. I am only searching for the instructions of the body sets: Models based on M-Chassis: 84267 Nissan Silvia S15 (not to be mixed up with 58532 Nissan Silvia S13) 84329 Datsun 280 ZX Custom 92213 Datsun 280 ZX Sports Models based on TL/TT-Chassis: 58251 Lexus GS 400 58408 Suzuki SX4 WRC 58413 Lamborghini Countach LP500S 92200/92201 Toyota Celica GT-Four (I already have the instructions for kit 58129) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carrera124 80 Posted September 3, 2022 @Rabbi_kun of course I checked Tamiyabase, but they have none of the listed manuals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiyabigstuff 832 Posted September 3, 2022 Have you tried the tamiyausa website ? Search on the kit number & tick the 'Discontinued' box - some have the download manual option although some of the manuals may only be the generic chassis build manuals.

OK, that's me reading too quickly... Quite a few of the more recent T-kits come with a generic chassis build manual and a separate sheet for the body. A quick search on fleabay - there is 1 NIB kit listed that I can see for the 280ZX in the USA for $600 - the pics clearly show the build manual is a generic M05 & the body sheet is separate. Maybe contact the seller and ask nicely for a pdf scan ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I know. These separate body sheets are exactly what I am looking for. But I cannot find them anywhere as scans or PDF. Even printed ones are HTF, of course except those who come as part of a complete kit. Edited September 3, 2022 by Carrera124 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
