Coming Back into the Hobby!

General Discussion Welcome - Introduce Yourself

hey guys, my name is Tristan and im 16 years old. I used to model when I was 10 or 11(although I wasn’t even completing the models). I’m getting back into it because I think its creative and fun. I have tons of unbuilt models I bought on eBay for really cheap and I’m looking to build them. I own a somewhat good quality of an airbrush(paasche and harbor freight air compressor). I am hoping you guys can give me some more info on these:

Tamiya 1/35 BMW r-75 w/side car kit

Tamiya G.P.A. Jeep US Amphibian 1/35 kit

1/72 Revell Jolly Green Giant kit

Tamiya Sturmgeschuetz III Ausf G 1/35 kit-does not include instructions

Tamiya 1/35 German 88mm Gun Flak 36 37(Not the African-Campaign one) kit-does not include instructions

Also, do you guys know where I could get instructions for these two kits?

Hi Tristan,

Nice to have you here. Lots of knowledge gathered here in both the threads and the members. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and post pics of your builds.

I believe there is a site where you can get instructions, but afraid i don’t know the link. But i am sure someone will have it.

Hi Tristan, nice to see your still into this hobby. I’ve encountered that problem as well, in fact I just sent a kit as a gift and the recipient informed me that there were no instructions with it. There are several sites that may have a set you can download, try Hobby Search for one. Good luck.
