The wife always makes sure I get a mouth watering addition to the stash every birthday. Last year she excelled by presenting me with the Tamiya Lancaster. She's more into Ebay than hobby shops or online stores so it came from a modeller in Japan. Only trouble is, the instructions are in Japanese.
Can anyone send me a scanned copy, in English, please? If I don't get this kit started soon the anticipation will kill me, and if I try to use the instructions I've got, I'll stuff it up.
Thanks in anticipation.

Simon, I built this beastie about 15 years ago. The pictures should do you okay to get started. The only hiccup in construction is attaching the engines to the wings Interior colour in these things was predominatly black and the exterior was typical bomber scheme of dark green/dark earth/black. Unfortunatly, when I moved from NH to FL I got rid of all my back instruction sheets

Good luck

1999.co.jp has instructions from two Tamiya Lancasters on their site:
- B.mk.I/III

Thanks for the advice guys.
Jim - the link from Eetu has what I need so you don't need to go to the trouble of scanning them. Thanks for the offer.
I'll just point out that Eetu's link takes you to a site with copies of 'assembly guides' for 100's of kits (planes, ships,armour)so anyone needing instructions for any kit should check out that site first.
Thanks Eetu!
Lancaster, here I come!
