Default Download Tamiya tank instruction manuals here (FREE)

Hey all,

I recently took the time to find, convert and upload each of Tamiya's tank manuals in PDF format ([link=http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html]Adobe Reader[/link] required) for others to download for FREE, as these often get passed on without manuals etc, making restorations or even putting back together difficult. I know I had trouble finding each, therefor I wanted to put them all in one place so others don't have to scour the internet.

The files are optimized for fast download, typically 1-5mb in size (7mb max), so even dialup users will be able to download them within a reasonable period of time. I also have higher-resolution/quality versions and will email them out upon request to those who need them, as they are much bigger files.



[link=http://members.iinet.net.au/~wackywheelz/manuals]VIEW/DOWNLOAD THEM HERE[/link]

● Pershing (#56015, #56016)

*********************


Thanks for all the kind words guys, makes it all worth while. Big thanks to those who helped me with the manuals I couldn't get, now we have them all in one place!!

Can't thank you enough, Wacky.....!! I'd given up finding "instructions" for my old M4 "Veteran".......

Just as an aside, even Dial-Up users can get files "faster" using
[link=http://www.snapfiles.com/get/stardownloader.html]STAR DOWNLOADER FREEWARE[/link] ==it splits your "Incoming" into as many as 4 parts and transfers them simultaneously. Also picks up where it left off if your connection gets "hosed" and you have to re-dial. Easy to :learn", too.....!

Other "Download Managers" can be foind at [link=http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/downloader/fwdown.html]SNAPFILES[/link] .....

Hey all - I've given the manual page a bit of a makeover, rather than being some drab folder contents its now a little more appealing, you can see what you're getting before you get it - so check it out!! (link in post #1)

You never know what you don't know. I consider my self a knowledgable tanker and scrounger for projects but I never once looked in that corner of the Tamiya page for the directions. I order all the time and I even badger my club members for their old directions. (sorry Jeff) This is what this forum is all about, sharing information fot the betterment of the Hobby.

In other words..... DOH!!!!

I have a copy in hand and I just finished the Tamiya PZ IV hull assembly today and will post a complete photo brief of the build either at the end of the month or sometime in March.
It is a well engineered kit and meets or betters Tamiya's normal high bar and I am enjoying working on the kit at my leisure off and on.

And where is Wacky and did you get your Sherman up and running?
