Hi!
This kit gave me a heart attack today, haha.
I’m used to new kits where everything is explained really well, or they come with everything already done.
I saw that they were asking for 6 cellophane bags and I understood that they had to come inside the plastic with the paper templates.
They were for decorating the rolls.
I thought, well, I guess I’ll have to ask for the cellophane back.
My Japanese is basic; I only completed the second year.
Until I decided to translate the Japanese text and take a closer look at the photo.
Oh my God! The hard plastic bag containing the templates is the cellophane I need to cut into 8x8 cm pieces, 6 in total!
First a heart attack, then I felt stupid, haha.
Has this happened to anyone else with this kit?

Not really. I went looking for a fourth piece for a build the other night until I realised that there was only meant to be three lol
It took me a couple of minutes to understand the instructions properly.

Yes! But I almost gave up; it was frustrating not finding the solution for so long.
I still often use the Chinese version and have to use Google Translate.

When I saw that it was Japanese, I thought it best to translate it just in case.

Hahaha, I understand, but I was on vacation at my mother’s house and I didn’t have any more kits.
omg, what a moment. Honestly, I can totally see how that happened, and these older kits sometimes make you work a bit harder to figure things out

Tell me about it, Dora’s loft the instructions were insufficient.
Diy kits mean just that. You do it yourself and that means everything including making the bags

Yes, but if one has only built new kits, I didn’t understand why the bags weren’t included.
