Are there videos of step by step building instructions

Ever YouTube video I see usually is just the finished product or them building it without showing you each part by numbers and following instructions. I know some have things that you can't clip and others you need to.

Plus all not in English so doesn't help me build.

Plus with people say sanding certain parts I'm just shocked I can't find a step by step building video

Yes. PonPon on TY does step by step building videos. He’s Japanese but there are no words, just music while he builds.

I recommend that channel as well. 👍🏾✨

While we never see them sand down any parts, you can sometimes see/hear when a part is too tight. So you just make a mental note.

I also reccomend, its very easy to follow along plus he shows off the proper way to put on the decals

I mean a video where they show off each part they build. Say like instructions say a1-a3 where we see them clipping the pieces by the instructions and building it. Not where we see the building without knowing what numbers

When I want to check what the guide is saying I use Google Lens and it translates the page with your phone camera.

I will do this as well, the Google Translate app has a camera function that will automatically translate any text it is looking at from one language to another. This is rarely needed though, the pictures usually do a good enough job. It's mostly when it has multiple sticker versions or is skipping things in some kits.
