i bought a fujimi kit and the decal derections are in japanese only. i need help.
here is an example

maybe the website on the instruction sheet would have alternate language instructions. forever companies have published the directions in English, French, German, & Spanish.

 

 

 

try:     Google Translate

 

sometimes it works, and sometimes the results are nothing short of comical.

Unless the kit was manufactured for export to the U.S. it probably won't be in English .   I recently sold a 1/12 Tamiya 240Z that I bought while stationed in Japan and the buyer raised heck because it was in Japanese !

If you have a smartphone, download a translator. Most will allow you to take a picture which allows the app to translate the text to English. But keep in mind, translating Japanese to English sometimes gives results that make absolutely no sense.

www.freetranslator.com ?  There are several translation sites if you just google Japanese to English.

I have used google translator by scaning the instruction sheet. Converting it to a PDF file and the running it through the translator.  There are only a few types of files it will work on and PDF is one of them.
