Missing instructions Aaaargh! Tamiya 1:24 Impreza WRC '99

[Evil Monkey]

Inspired by some of the fantastic models that I've seen on here and Britmodeller I've dug out an old unbuilt kit from my loft - it's a Tamiya 1:24 scale Subaru Impreza WRC '99, Tamiya item number 24218 - only to find that the instructions have been lost! Any idea where I'd be able to get replacements from??

I'd have recommended http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10008232 , however it seems this is one of the only models they don't have the instructions for! Handy to keep in mind though!

They're bound to be on the net somewhere...

You, sir, are a top man! Thanks very much.

Those are excellent kits, perfect fit. Here is my '99 Monte Carlo I finished earlier this year.

That looks amazing Jackal. If mine turns out half as good as that I'll be really pleased.
This is the first kit I've built for ages so I doubt it'll be up to much but I'm going to really take my time and get the best finish I can. May even have to invest in an airbrush!

Bit of a bump here. Did this ever finish?

Bought kit and paint I thought I'd need. Turn out I need another 20 colours lol.

Be keen to see finished articles to help me through!

Same here! Never really got started on this one so now I feel bad about other people making the effort to find the instructions for me.

One day........

I'll be finished mine soon. Bought most the colours except the light blues etc.

I'll need to buy a can of mica blue spray paint to d the body.

Do you just spray that several times over lightly? Do you need primer etc?
