Hello Stefano,

I am very well, thanks! How about you? I hope you're equally well.
As for the old Kubelwagen from Tamiya I think it's difficult to find an instructions that old. However, I have newer Kubelwagen type 82 from Tamiya (released in 1997 or 12 years ago) and I believe the decals remain the same or very similar to the older one. So you may use this as reference:

Have fun!

You're welcome, Stefano. Yes, I think TS is an abbreviation of Tamiya Spray. According to the instruction sheets, TS-1(XF-64)=Red Brown, TS-2(XF-61)=Dark Green and TS-3(XF-60)=Dark Yellow.
BTW, where in the world do you live?
