Hi,

I'm rarin' to get back into my bandai nashorn which i haven't worked on for months but I can't find the instructions. I can't imagine I would have moved them away from my table but they are nowhere to be found. Internet search has not turned up any scans.

Can someone help me with scans of the instructions?

Cheers,

James

Do they include instructions on how to scratch-build an accurate Nashorn?

Ha ha! I know! My plan B was buying another one off eBay but I couldn't bring myself to spend good money on such a dog. I'm doing it in the first place for nostalgia reasons, but I'm not THAT nostalgic.

I've got a stack of the Bandai 1/48 kits in my stash of shame that I'll never build. I don't think a single one of them is correct in any way. They were nice 40 yrs ago!

Yes, it is the Wespe.

I still had a dozen or so of these a few years ago, but ebayed them when I dove into 1/35. They were great when I was a teenager and Kmart was stuffed with them.
