The instructions are very simple and straightforward, I built the model mostly according to them.
I used a pin vise and drill to clean out the receptacles on the lower hull for the pins on the upper hull. They are just a micro too small. One of them is just a little too tall and I trimmed it down too.
This is the glue I used but any plastic model cement should be just fine.
The hole in upper hull for the turret pin is a tiny bit too small and it got cleaned up too.
Test fit of upper hull and tracks.
I got the main gun and turret ready at this point also, the pin on the turret goes though the upper hull, but it is rather short, so I put a collar on it from the underside.
I made the collar out of a bit of sheet plastic, drilled a hole in it and put the pin through the upper hull and collar. Put a drop of glue on the collar right at the pin to keep glue off the upper hull. Turret will spin but no come off.
More to come tomorrow.
