Searching for modern rare instructions

Recommended Posts

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)

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.

Yes I have, as written in my first posting.

If you‘re able to find anything from my list there, you“‘ll be my hero.

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 ???

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.
