Bandai released a searchable Gunpla manual database with high quality scans.
No EN mode as far as I can tell, and typing the English name doesn't always bring results. Searching by grade and year range helps narrow things down as I stumble through JP.

Oh this is excellent, but still needs EN translations... I had to search up already for translated manuals on some of my kits as they had a few important written instructions I couldn't completely figure out from the pictures.
I recognize I’m assuming some level of privilege here but before learning Japanese I just used the Google Translate app with the camera function to translate.
I'll probably still be going to the usual places like Dalong first, but more options is always good! I do wish they had non-Gundam kits on there as well, was trying to look up the manual for the HG Reginleif a while back and it took a while.
Oh nice! This is awesome! For some reason the website is super slow for me... also if people haven't heard of it yet, dalong.net is also a good source for manuals/kit reviews!
