Just joined the forum. My son and I are starting our very first MG Gundam build. It’s an Astray Blue Frame second Revise. We’re at a loss due to all of the instructions are in Japanese. Hoping to find some assistance. Internet has not been helpful so far. Thank you in advance.

It sounds like they're looking for some clarification in the instructions on this bad boy MZ. |

It'd probably help if we had a picture of the problem area of the instruction sheet stankfinger76 |

Mz3 beat me to the punch! I found a set of translated instructions, but not of the second version variant.
Anyway, welcome to the forums SF76, and hope you share your builds with us!

Seems the issue has been solved.
A method I can recommend in general is using your cell phone together with the Google translator and photograph the area you wish to translate.
I did this on a few occasions in the past and while the results might not be always perfect, it still serves to give you an idea of what you're dealing with.

Don't worry about most of what is written in the manual. Alot of it is just background information on the unit in the kit and the anime it appears in. In your second picture, the second page is just that, descriptions of the weapons and tech the mobile suit uses in the anime. There is also a section related to ordering parts(I think) that is for Japan use only.
If you continue building these, the newer kits have japanese and english instructions.

Welcome aboard! That’s an interesting modeling subject (Gundam) which I’d never been necessarily aware of, but am learning to appreciate so, glad to see another modeler that can educate me  |

Welcome! From my experience; Gundam building or “Gunpla” as it is referred requires a lot of examination of pictures rather than text. There are tons of YouTube videos on people building Gundam which you might find useful. The Astray Blue Frame is a rather popular one, so I would imagine there are a pleathera of videos to choose from. Good luck!
