Ahhh the pleasures of evil bay. My "bargain" Tirpitz maybe isn't such a bargain after all. It has come with Japanese only instructions which of course I am unable to read.

I have checked out the interweb and cannot locate a copy of the instructions/manual anywhere. One site has kindly put up every second page but no more.

I can follow the what goes where pictures but the colour instructions and any little tidbits of information about assembly etc are what I am really after.

I also note that what I have purchased is item 78003 which is "no longer in production" made for motorization - is this radically different to 78015 which appears to be the current static model. apart from the motor and battery housing? (which I don't want and won't install)

If anyone can point me in the right direction to download the English instructions or can email me a pdf of them that would be fantastic.

Thanks

Brian
