Parts 18 - 20.

Part 18 was the air tank. The end petals were not fun. As you can see they ended up with putty.

Part 19 were fitting for the lines. I did not install all the lines. Shame on me. Not sorry though.

Part 20 was the spare time mount.

Parts 21-23

21 - roller assembly: fiddly, otherwise no issues.

22 - fenders: look complicated, but are not.

23 - ramps. Fold inner and outer surfaces parts before gluing since they are different lengths to account for paper thickness.

Parts 24 - 28

Parts 24 are wheel blocks and storage brackets. The brackets are too small for the blocks. I did the best I could with them.

Parts 25 are flat ramps and their storage brackets. The brackets are very fiddly. The ramps are then too long to fit in the brackets. I ended up taking about 2 mm off each end to get them to fit.

Parts 26 are two jacks. These built up without issue.

Parts 27 are two shovels. No issues with these.

Parts 28 are the mounting brackets for the jacks and shovels. These are not intuitive, the drawings are useless and they are very frikkin fiddly.

This finishes the front bogie construction. I painted the whole assembly and mounted the tires. Next up will be the rear bogie after an appropriate pause to rejuvenate.

It's unbelievable how many mistakes this model has and even after the lesson with FAMO. But you are doing great job to overcome each one of them.
Front bogie looks good! I wish you a lot of patience with the rest

Parts 29-31

Rear bogie framework. Fit is fine but fiddly. Cut the thin side trim from the outer wrapper strip and then sectioned the trim into pieces for easier installation. This whole part was very much like the front bogie.

Parts 32 through 37

Part 32. Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the parts. They are the bullet shaped bosses sticking out the bottom. Much like front bogie. No real issues with them.

Part 33. The angled parts were not fun to fold.

Part 34. Miscellaneous parts. No issues with these.

Part 35. Rear towbar and steer spindle assembly. These parts needed a little thought on assembly. Once that was done, no major issues to report.

Part 36. More steer spindle parts and braces. 36g parts were a bear to form both mentally and physically.

Part 37. Axles and suspension. Assembly is like the front bogie. I still do not like the axle design ( no reinforcement or alignment pieces to help). Also no indication of any spring arch, so I patterned what I did for the front bogie for consistency.
