wow. i just blew three hours reminiscing. and wondering how many of those tools are still good to use......

i noticed the Palmer section only had one kit... well; it only takes one to show how crude they were.

That website is put together by Bob Black here in Omaha. At one time I gave him a crapload of old instructions/box covers to scan. He also has the cool Traditional rod & custom website/forum

This is a very well-known website, but it's amazing how many people don't know about it, or don't bookmark it for future reference. Questions about instructions still show up all the time here. It's great not just for replacing lost instructions, but also for analyzing what's in a kit you might buy. Biggest drawback: No organization or search capability, other than by manufacturer name (However, if you luck upon the right screen, which is hard to find, you can narrow it down to model decades). Bookmark it!!

i'm not going to complain that they don't have the instructions for AMT's Iron Horse Mustang; they had darn near everything else under the sun! i went through every possible permutation of the kit in case it was hidden somewhere... seemed odd that nowhere on the MPC section were there any Nascar/Grand National kits..... oversight on somebodie's part i'm sure. there was definitely a need to fill in the late '70's issues.... the halcyon days of annual kits were not well represented!

That is a great site for manuals. Its great to be able to see what is in the kit box before purchase. Tamiya USA have put up 11 pages of their manuals

Wow, that is great to know. Is there a page where you can find kits by product number, since that's the only way their instructions are indicated?

Looks to me like you need to know the product number to find anything. I wish Tamiya would say what the kit is next to the product number so you could browse through the lists and just click on what interests you.

They could learn a lot from the way these guys have got their site set up

That's a great website. I don't throw out any instructions. I save them to a folder in my filing cabinet. Got quite a few.

Wow....what a site! Great stuff.I plan on contributing as I have a few kits I didn't see listed. Plus I can contribute a REAL `68 Barracuda kit instead of the often referred to "68" Judy Lily super stock kit, which is actually a `69....Thanks for sharing!

NIne times out of ten when I'm searching for an image of a kit box, guess which 'site turns up? Love that place.

Hi everyone, I haven't been here for awhile being busy with life and things.

I was told there was a thread about my site, so I had to check it out.

Thanks for all of the kind words and I really do get pleasure in knowing the site

is being used! It's free to everyone and is definately a work in progress that is

going to take many years to ever complete....if that's even possible? lol

I could not do it , if it were not for the help of the BUNCHES of modelers

around the globe that pitch in or donate. Thank you, I enjoy doing this and

love seeing all of these kits!

The best way to search is by going to the main page and clicking on the brand

you want and go from there. I don't have a search engine installed ,because this

is an offset of my club's site and the results you would find , won't always be

instructions related.....not to mention, I would have to do more work and edit

everything already there LOL

If you can't find what you need, it's simple to send me an email making a request

or just go to the MKIBA forum and ask. Sometimes it takes awhile before someone

comes up with what you need, but we always get them.

Some forums out there have the logo at the bottom of their main page for quick reference.
