Not much to be said about this one as instructions are straightforward.
The only thing you need to worry about is which gun barrel you pick as that is the only difference between the two variant in this kit. Everything else is a matter of being careful when cutting the parts of the sprue.
Ready to assemble both variantsAssembly tips
The machinegun and the tiny light thing are very fragile, but at least you’ve got a spare machinegun on each track sprue.
When placing the big fuel tank you need align the tiny notch in the center with the slight bump on the hull for the best fit.
The track part on the front of the hull does help you to hide the small gap that may be left after attaching the upperhull to the track assembly.
The gun barrel itself has a very tiny identation that should be at the bottom when placing the barrel in the mantlet.
