I was given a Tamiya 1/700 King George V waterline kit that for some reason only has the Japanese instruction sheet. So far building the kit hasn't proved to be much of a problem but there is no way I can determine the colour of paints as I don't read or write Japanese. There are only 2 colours indicated and if someone has the same kit with the English instructions and would be kind enough to let me know what they are I would appreciate it.

Thanks for any help;

ron
