Parts 12 through 24.
The suspension spring installation gave me a little trouble. I made the springs according to the template provided but I think the curve was too sharp, the springs were a little to tall to fit perfectly. I bent the ends of the springs down to improve fit a little but it was not entirely successful.
The drive wheels, on the other hand, fit perfectly when using the laser cut parts. The laser parts were the exact thickness needed, so I couldn't laminate them with the color provided. I painted them with Rustoleum 2X apple red and that was a decent match. I did add the outside edge strips on the spokes to maintain a cohesive outside overall color for the wheels.
Note that two of the spokes on each wheel had to be cut to conform to the center hub on either side of the driving rod mount. No big deal, just no drawings to indicate the need for those of us deficient in the Polish language.
