That's a great idea Jim, will have to pick up a few of those, thanks
Onward:
If you can see, there is a slight seam line on the frame which cleaned up nice with a bit of scraping with xacto blade and sanding stick
This is how the smaller parts come, very thin film to clean up
If I read the directions correctly, the first thing I did was cut a bit off the back of the frame for a 90 degree angle
The frame parts ready to go together .. I also drilled an extra hole in one of the cross brace parts
Glued the frame parts together .. I also added a plasticard tab on the inside joint to strenghten it
Added the cross braces
First mistake on my part .. had to cut the plasticard strengthener so that it was not flush with the top of the frame for the turret turntable ridge
There are locating marks on the inside of the frame for turntable placement
Step 1 complete :woohoo:
Next up .. axles :cheer:
