Yeah, I’ve used the Google Translate app to do live image translation for Japanese papercraft kits
Sweet their putting together the model I sent in!
Norm, I put the exact kit you’re doing together after ordering it last year sometime based on recommendations found in the comments here. I was constantly stunned at the level of detail and precision tolerances that must have gone into making the kit. I look forward to seeing what you do with yours.
The sub-assemblies are never unnecessary!

Also for translating the manuals I can recommend using the Google Translate app, works really well-ish. Some gibberish but you can usually figure it out.
That first gundam build you guys did back in the day really got me in to building gundam. I in the middle of building one right now it’s the Sazabi with the metal upgrade.
